Back box opinions?...

[europeanme]

what back boxs are recommended for use on avants??...I have heard the miltek ones but wonder what other ones people are using and what their feelings are?...

I run a twin pipe back box from Borla. The pipes are too wide, for the rear bumper opening, so some welding on the pipes is required. I can not really tell how it will sound on your car, but with a full 3" exhaust system I have it's quite loud when the engine and exhaust are hot. The 5 cyl rumble is good though

i run a custom made cat back with 70mm tubes and twin exit on the back box 2x60 i think.

sounds nice, not too loud quite ok i would say.

i run a quattronics custom system with a 2 pipe exit. looks pretty much factory but sounds loud. im ok with it buit some of the neighbours are not.

think the fact its 3 inch straght thru with no cat contributes lots.

thanks for the feedback folks....

Gazza, was your back box a magnaflow one or a custom quattronics box??....I know he had a few magnaflow boxes from the states he was selling with his "system"....

Are you REALLY going to give this guy business?

The Milttek box is excellent, buy the RS2 box as it's 3"

Mine, S2avants and Dest's old Blue Avant had a deep tone i've not heard on another car.

i built my own 3" exhaust with 1 magnaflow muffler and a catalyst. ( 034ms magnaflow 3"in and 2 pipes out)

is sound really good and not too loud IMO!

Can you fit just a miltek back box on its own or do you have to buy the complete system? Last i looked they had 3 or 4 different sections so the cost added up quickly.

IIRC MattS2 has a miltek system and at ADi last year sounded superb....I was under the impression the miltek don't make RS2 exhausts anymore... hence me looking for either a custom fabricator or a tried and tested system with minimal fabrication/extra costs...

I am struggling to find someone to do the 3" DP in SS along with a relevant system that didn't require selling of a vital organ....

I am after the whole system as mine is on it's last legs....and I am looking into the custom idea hence me wanting info on back boxes...

Pete Reeve had some and they are available on ebay, when I spoke to Milltek at GTI they said they were available and it's on their catalogue still.

I think they've stop the downpipe and only offer cat backs now
