S/S System Cost?

[JonnyH]

What sort of price is a full stainless steel system for an S2 Avant? I was looking at the Milltek site, but they don't give prices out.

Any recommendations?

I got my Milltek for £360 delivered with trade discount. IIRC the retail price was around £530+VAT.

This is for the 3" RS2 system which also fits the S2 Avant. You get middle and rear boxes and pipe work to meet the cats. They seem to be really funny about making them though. I tried to order one for about six months and they told me they didn't make them. Then one day they siad they did but it would take a couple of weeks. It turned up the next day

They also list a 2.75" S2 system but it is only for coupes.

Full stainless 3" with a sport cat for the avant cost me £600-odd fitted at Pro-Speed in Cardiff.

Cheers. That price sounds good - pity I can't get trade prices Any idea of the price of a VAG genuine system? No doubt even more expensive.

A genuine VAG system will set you back £678.11 + VAT!!! Plus a bit more for exhaust clamps.

Trade discount is easy to get. All you need to do is use a name and address of a company and then send a fax with the delivery and your card details. Easy for me as I work for a main stealer but all it takes is the balls to ask.

On Karlos' recommendation, I went for a full 3" system from Pro-speed and another thumbs up from me. The system is 3" SS mandrel bent from the flange in front of the stock front Y-piece, to a race-cat, over the rear-diff (what a biiiiiatch of a job) to the back-box and pipes.

On a stock car it would appear to my de-sensitized butt-dyno that once you're above 3K rpm, the benefits of the free-flowing system are detectable.

Mine pops on the over-run sometimes at the moment but that maybe because my lambda probe is shot and I need a new one.

Kudos to Charlie at Pro-speed. £665 all in.

longlife £450 inc plus choice of tailpipe - great fit & service and after almost 4 years on no problems... Sounds sweet not boomy and plenty of pops and bangs

Hi,

How do you describe (MILTEK pipe for RS2, ABY Avant or ABY Sedan) the exhaust pipe sound inside the car with 4th or 5th gear between 2200 and 3000 RPM ?

Does it have a disturbing resonance peak at that rpm band or is it OK. I have the BN pipes 2 pipe cat back system that has ugly resonance between 2000 and 3000 RPM. Are you running it wit CATs or with by pass pipes . If with Cats; what cats are you using ?

My Miltek has a resonance between 2000 and 3000 rpm. It wasn't noticable when I had working CATS but now they are empty shells you can hear it. It's not too intrusive though just a bit louder than the rest of the rev range. Overall it's a quiet system inside the car.

The car is back in the garage being played with again and amongst other bits is finally having the Marco 3" Downpipe fitted along with removing the CATS completely so it will be 3" from the turbo back. No doubt this will increase the resonance somewhat.
