    Miltek SS Exhaust

    I have just purchased a Miltek SS Exhaust (not fitted yet). Can anyone tell me if this will offer any performance improvement. My car (avant) has also a Homefry.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you should feel an improvement alright... Less restriction in the exhaust means improved overall engine efficiency - turbos don't like exhaust restriction. I've never quantified any gains though. Maybe you can try some 30-70 or 0-60 times to try and quantify any improvements.

      Again, Yes full Miltek with decat pipes is a nice upgrade for pre 92/93 cars.

        Norr,

        Same set up here, had that system on for some time now on a fried Avant. Its really hard to say there is any gain by the seat of the pants, but thats not the real reason why a Milltek gets fitted to an S. The real reson is the music she'll produce now this is an avant with the milltek on: 1 meg clip

        I'm sure you'll gain a few ponies, but in amongst the 260-280 you have now, you'll not notice the few new ones

            Is that a single-box or two-box Miltek?

              I'm getting an Avant/RS2 cat back fitted at Star Performance sometime in the next week... maybe see if there can be a before and after run. It's homefried and was measured at 271.5bhp on their rolling road at the last shootout.... would be better if the Samco's were fitted and sure it was airtight.

              The best things are worth waiting for....

                You won't get a single hp with the samcos if the old ones did not leak.

                  My exhaust is Cat back only. Will this still offer less restriction and thus gains in oomph?

                  @ Martynf

                  Like the sounds, hope mine sounds half as good.

                    Porkkis,

                    I'm fairly sure that I've got a leak.... thats' why I'd like the hoses to be on first!
