Anyone removed a silencer from their Milltek ?

How'd you loose your rear box was it on purpose or accident?

accident got caught on a kerb and cean ripped it of.

John, it's the V-clamps and materials that rack the costs up. You won't get anyone to replicate that set-up for much cheapness. I built mine like that for easy access and the parts came out like this

3" 80 degree SS bend x 2

1 x 3" x 8" flexi

2 metres of 3"SS

4 V band flanges + 2 Aircraft spec V band clamps

SS turbo flange & SS WG flange (I made these out of stainless, no wonder they cost!)

It's more straightforward if you don't want the V clamp /cone/flange from the turbo, but that was one of the things I hated - taking the DP off !

When you tally up the materials and then add the TIG plus fitting it's not a cheap solution... but it was superb.

It the fitting that takes the time.... the TIG is the easy bit.

For track days you just by one of them can of beans looking things.
they stick out like a siliencer , they do look rather erm , :rolleyes.
i lost the rear box of my avant ages ago and had a little bit of pipe that i wedged in and it sounded pretty good. was even better when i lost the other siliencer.

Sorry for going a bit off topic here but i recently picked up a 3" milltek exhaust system (no cats) but no down pipe and no or flexi pipe. I was looking to get one built with V clamps just beside the turbo, so if needed i could take the exhaust off in minutes, but the build could cost in excess of £400-£500
has anybody on ever bought the 034 motorsport 3" downpipe this one http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=137 was it worth it?

If you can get down to it try prospeed in cardiff for a quote, they can probably beat that.

from what I remember of my college days, every 3dB is double the volume, i.e. 100dB is double the volume of 97dB.
I took a car to the track with a 106dB @45 degs @ 0.5m 3/4 max revs and they wouldn't let me on until I'd 'quietened it' so Ian's 109dB is 'kin lowwwwdddddd

Removing the cats made a very noticable difference on mine

[Big Lee M]

I have a custom exhaust stright through from the cat back to one back box, it is 2.75". It isn't loud but i do have my cats in. Has a nice burble but has a even nicer sound when given a boot load.Sounds a bit like a RS4 B5.

I suppose my latest 109db Rally Reps banned everywhere then....

As an Exponential growth Curve it's pretty painful....

[AndersS2]

Dest, Give us an video/sound recordning of the loudness!

I have thought of dropping one box myself for a time, but Im not sure if it makes trackdays a no go

[dest]

Yep, mine is damn loud!

Original downpipe to 3" straight through with no cats or centre box, then a Milltek rear box.
I know mine would be too loud/annoying if it was an everyday car, but as its not I dont mind
