    I got just a milltek back box from them direct, simply by argueing they have seperate part numbers so why cant i buy it seperate! It needed a custom section making to bridge the gap but sounded awesome!

      I think they've stop the downpipe and only offer cat backs now
      I did speak to Pete about this a while back...
      as you have just finished of your stroker engine, is it much hassle just to get a 3"dp made and get a sport cat to mate up to the miltek system??...

            yeah sure, take the car here an di will make you an exhaust

            i think it sounds awesome with only 1 back box!
            here you have the silencer:
            http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=581

            it fits really good on oem location, you just need to make the exhaust tips about 50mm longer

            One thing i've learned we are way behind the Scandinavians!

                The gap is because if you buy just a milltek back box it is not as long as the standard one, plus you loose the centre box which is why it sounds better than a cat back

                  RS2 oe system.
                  I'm just in process of replacing two joints with oe clamps.
                  Just thought I'd have a nosey to see how much rust I could find, so dropped HEAVY system. Back box in stunning condition, just rust on welded hangers.
                  Middle box, bit of a mess, but I reckon on another year untill failure
                  All pipes upto cats have surface rust, but still look very solid.
                  15 years and still going
                  Shame about middle box, I reckon we could of got to 20 years:cry

                      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.
                      If only Milltek made full systems still including downpipe, I would pay up like in an instant!

                      GROUPBUY?

                      The dude at the Milltek stand at GTI Inters said if 10 people wanted a downpipe, then they would produce 10? Is there anyone who wants 9?

                          the mention of group buys seems to get plenty of interest but then nothing ever happens.....

                          i would most definitly be interested...

                            Milltek downpipe is 2.75" and doesn't fit. Ideally they need to remeasure on a car.

                              Frazer, there is a shop near where you work who will make you a downpipe and full exhaust for less than what milltek charges AND better than those.
                              the shop is very very good and highly recommended. They made me a complete downpipe + labour + wideband/EGT fitment for 350GBP which is not bad at all,and quality welding as well
