3" pipe and flexi

[adamw]

anybody got a tail pipe like whats on the 2.7 RS4? i think that would look good on the rs2

[adamw]

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
cheers adam

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.

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.

I'd like something similar with a cat so i can take the blinking car to any garage to MOT

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

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...

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.

LMAO 5.30 AM? Bet your off the xmas cards list

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.

Ben

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!

is the above pic s2avant's car with the modified miltek exhaust?

is the miltek exhaust for the rs2 3"?

Bit of a tight squeeze under there, is that 3" till it splits and presumably goes to a 2.75or clost to it?

Pity you don't know a garage that would turn a blind eye as most know its coming straight back off after the mot. Other option which is a bit more expensive is getting a new center section done to either include a cat or two or just one pipe with a cat in but problem there I guess would be it would need to split again for the milltech.

S2Avant's is the same exhaust system and downpipe.

Jason down at the Lion Garage did it for me. I got a length of 3" diameter stainless and ordered the flexi and v-band clamps from atpturbo. He's obsessive about things being perfect so I knew I could leave it in his capable hands.

Ideally I would like to see a picture of the exhaust with Cats in an Avant / RS2

I know how it looks in a Coupe but need a feel for what needs to be done for an Avant.

Tried one local place who then told me I needed a new 3" downpipe for £325, told them to do one

[Ross]

Just a thought, but alot of the local exhaust places have loads of pieces of pipe and flexi's etc in stock, perhaps a friendly word and a fw quid might get it sourced locally at a pretty good price? Last time I was at a Longlife store they had loads of bits n bobs on various shelves...

And another:

Guys can you look at the exhast pictures by Tekkno300 and advise / suggust how it could be modified to have a cat installed?
