    Adam,

    That is my car. The RS2 miltek system is 3" as opposed to the smaller system they do for the S2.

    As for the sound it can be quite boomy at idle when it is cold but once the system warms up it has a nice burble to it. In normal driving it is loud but not intrusive until you push it hard when IMHO it sounds nice and purposeful without sounding OTT.

      Yep it can be loud, it's louder outside than in though.

      On my RS2 Milltek with the twin pipes down the centre there's no boom but it does wake the neighbours!

      Having mine change to be like S2Avant's, he'll probably call me a copy cat, again!

        I measured the level of mine from in my front room with the car outside the neighbours house approx 3 metres away. 98dB at idle when it was stone cold. It is a lot lower when it is warm though.

        I'm sure my neighbours hate me when I use it for work and start it up at 5.30am Carly has complained that it rattles the front door knocker and the bay window when I go to work.

            same thoughts here, I now have straight pipes iso cats, but I am getting annoyed with having to swap cats back in and out every year for the APK (our version of MOT). I was thinking of running a 3" pipe from the turbo upto the end section, leaving that and the end muffler original

            check this thread : http://forum.s2power.com/s2forum/viewtopic.php?t=1230
            it's in dutch, but you'll understand the pix unfourtunately the owner sold the car before he did an MOT, so we don't know if the small cat dit it's job good enough for that...

              MRC or quattronics will do you a DP and sports cat or there's the Milltek option like I've gone for although it doesn't fit proprerly!

              MRC option was expensive but you just know it'd be good, just couldn't get it done in a day so had to pull out.

                Henkjan, I've got a 100 cet sports cat and ive got a 034 Sports cat as well en-route.

                Going to install the 034 cat and sell the 100 cell cat.

                My problem is I need new downpipe as the one on the car is 2.75" and until I've installed the Wagner EM with the new 3076r I won't know if I need a custom one or the OEM shape is an exact fit.

                  im thinking to get a miltek system but need a few questions answered first.

                  is the miltek system more boomy with the 2 pipes? (like lgrees) or 3" all the way? what is better? i like what s2avant did with his but i might put a cat in aswell.

                  can you get diffrant style tailpipes?
                  i quite like the look of twin slightly oval tail pipes that evenly fit to the rs2 bumper?

                  ive seen a pic of one on here but cant find it
