    Exhaust for 20v ur

    Hi all.
    Was thinking of replacing my exhaust sometime soon, as I need to remove it anyway for another job.
    (Obviously it would be nice to de-cat it as well so it sounds better ).
    Have not researched too hard yet, but, a miltek came up as an option - approx £750 just for the bits. I wasn't expecting it to be that much. Anyway, I'm not desperate just yet but thought I'd throw the question to the crowd!
    Any suggestions on brands/costs pls?
    Thanks (I'm in the High Wycombe area btw)

    If you want an exact copy of the original, then the "quattro workshop" do a nice one in stainless.

    Are you going to modify the car? If so you may want a larger bore for less backpressure if you are going to run a larger tuebo or more boost.

    Hayward and Scott made a nice custom 3" downpipe back one for my car for £900 inc Vat.

    Also, do you drive you car much/do you want much noise? I used to run my 10V wr with no center box on the quattro workshop exhaust for the 10v. It sounded good but not ridiculous. I think the 20V RR is quite quiet as standard, some say excessively so?

    Miltek are good by all accounts, I had one on another car and was pleased with it. Good resale value too.

        I welded one myself 3" all the way including down pipe, could't bring myself to pay 1k. Very happy with it. I used high 316 grade stainless with one simons box, not load but sounds good. Can make you one if you want i'm in romford essex. Get in touch if you wish.

            Matereals Around 500 quit. That is not exact figure, but gives an idea.
            It can be done for cheaper if you go for lower grade 304 steel and cheaper back box and no v clamps etc. but i wanted a good quality what will last the life of the car without touching it ever again if that make sence

              Hi. I have no intention of modifying the car. Seen as though it needs to come off anyway, thought it would be nice to get a better sound from the car.
              I'll give Mr Galvin a call and see what the options are.
              Thanks
