Yep Simon, I've got a Milltek fitted to my 06 S Checkmate. Whereabouts in NI are you? If you're ever in Bangor, give me a shout and you can hear it for yourself

The Milltek is the nicest system... I have had one for 4 years nearly now. It only becomes loud per say when you fit the optional manifold and cat. Fit just the cat back system and its throaty and pops without being loud, but when you give it beans @ 4000rpm and above it sounds really nice, around town cruising its a nice burble with the odd roar and pop if you blip the right pedal.

The playmini is the other alternative.

Totall agree with Mr Crofts... I love my Milltek.
Though I will be upgrading the manifold in the next month or so, for even more burble and pop!

Has to be Miltek. You would not notice the difference from stock when driving normally or on a motorway cruise but give it the beans and it sounds great.
