    Most custom places will tell you to just have a single pipe as apposed to the original split at the bottom of the downpipe. I also had Milltek cat-back system and changed to custom from turbo to backbox = 3" downpipe, single sports cat, and 3" all the way to Milltek backbox.

    If you do this then you can sell the rest of the milltek system and just retain the backbox.

      Michael,

      I am planning to fit the exhaust exactly as you describe for my RS2, can you give any feedback on it, is it loud ( too loud) ? any noticeable change in power or character ?

      Did you have any clearance issues or problems with MOT ?

      Appreciate the feedback.

        I had a 3" scorpion cat-back with decay pipes on my RS2 (rest of the system was stock) - not too harsh on cruise, a bit boomy in that 75-80mph range but not too bad. I then replaced the down pipe and 2-piece section with a single 3" to make it 3" straight through, decatted. I do intend on putting a sports cat in at some point, will take a bit of the boom out i expect too, but I was surprised that it didn't sound any louder or boomier than before.

        It should technically free up power but I couldn't really say as it was combined with a bigger turbo and remap...
