Your opinion on best exhaust for S2 ABY

[Offroad URQ]

Hi All,
I've just got myself a '95 S2 ABY and it's come with the standard exhaust. After coming from a UR Quattro with a Scorpion single box twin pipe system, I'm missing a bit of noise ( I know a bit chav of me) and the 5 cylinder engines always sound good when let a bit loose.
I've read a load of opinions and posts on possible exhaust mods (Miltek, Scorpion etc) but what's your experiences on a system for the S2 ABY coupe?
Not looking for a massive power increase just a bit more of a throaty note from her. To remind me of my now offroad UR you understand). Does bypassing the Cat system cause problems or ....?

Any help appreciated
Cheers

I had a 3" system fitted which i am pretty happy with, but would have it built elsewhere for where i did.

sound is nice too, can be boomy at about 2700 revs though

Hi mate quite a few people have gone down the longlife route including myself and im very plaesed with it. Try a search for longlife. Good luck mate ( i still think my UR still sounds better though)

Get yourself a Milltek system

Get yourself a Milltek system

I'll second that

[Corey]

Not to start a war but a 20v engine will never have the same sound as a 10v IMHO. Which is one reason why I'm sticking with the 10v in my ur and getting that to 400+hp

[Greg_S]

have to agree with you on that corey, both engines have a different character too.

IMO the Long life one is noisy! I listened to Ross's and I think it is too loud. ( I am over 30 though!)

Not heard a Miltek but that is what I would be tempted to go for once my OEM one gives up...

[BRY]

Shock, horror
Fatty considers going none OEM

has anyone ever used Hayward & Scott?...probably not the cheapest, but a quality bit of kit by all accounts.

Never heard a bad word against them...

[PeteRR]

Yeah, had a quote from them last year for the ur.
It was about £550-600 +Vat. for a supply and fit. So a bit more expensive than a Milltek.

Thing is though, I'm not sure I like the idea of slightly oversize tailpipes of the Milltek. I'd have to see one again though I suppose.

Having fitted a couple of Millteks to 20v's (mostly single box) I have found them to be a bit boomy at (legal) motorway speeds, although the fit and finish is very good on the system, and it goes some way to getting the 20v (with single box) sounding a bit more 10v ish.

[stevieyid]

I agree with Corey the 10v certainly does have a unique sound. I have scorpion on my UR and that sounds quality. The longlife exhaust is a bit noisy between 2-3k rpm but after that it quitens down.

[Briggsy]

sorry to hijack.
it souonds as if the milltek is a safe bet. but any ideas where to get the best price? i have a ABY avant!
