The Milltek sounds very, very nice :-) maybe a little more noise would be good, but then, I've never really heard my car, have to get someone to drive her. From inside it sounds damn nice :-). One thing I HAVE to give Miltek 11/10 for is build quality and fitment. It bolted straight up, no adjustment, no bending and when tight the two tail pipes were in perfect alignment with the cut out in the bumper. Heaven.

Martin, is your car a ABY? And is it a full Miltek system with the cats/without?

Whats the dammage for one of them? My back box is rusted, so i think I need a new system

David, could you post some pictures of it from under the car? Also does your car spit flames? Are you running it with cats and a centre box?

Loads of q's but i need answers!!

Abs,

yup ABY and Miltek from the cats (stil fitted) back. I think retail is about £450 ish... for the cat back system.

I phoned Longlife and they've quoted me £329 for the full system cat back and £69 for a replacement cat pipe.

Are there any differences (apart from personal taste) in build quality etc between Milltek and Longlife

Cheers

Blimey thats good value. Nope, I think Milltek seem to make good systems that fit well - and going by Martyn's sound tasty too. I went for Longlife on the basis of cost and getting something made for me to my spec (requirements) rather than an off the shelf product. Their service was excellent and aftersales 1st class

I don't think you'll be disappointed either way.

Cheers,

David

That is seriously good value - what's it made of?

The full Scorpion system including cat bypass was well over £500 IIRC, and it doens't fit properly!

Should be 304 stainless if its like mine....

I still havent had my new back box built so i decided to cut the old one open and see why it was rattling. The Perforated tube in the middle had come loose, welds broke!! Also ALL the sound deadening had been toasted to nothing. The box was empty. So welded the tube in securely and packed it again. Now i remember what i sounded like when first made. Nice deep rumble. Still not happy with tailpipe or box flow design.

It is.
I take it that the price is fairly competitive.

[s2driveruk]

Well I paid £440 for a cat back system at their Cardiff branch 2 years ago so i would say that the price is very good!

At that point i was their 2nd S2, their first was done the day before - wierd huh!

Cheers,

David

Ok, finally managed to take some crappy photos of my system for you.

First shot is of the back box with the pipe entry:
