BEST EXHAUST FOR THE MK3 VR6?

[c4mbl 1]

yeah' date=' everyone bangs on about milltek, but there are quite a few people who are not happy with em aswell.they seem very 'of the moment' and expensive, im giving an 'ernst' system from german & swedish serious consideration based on price especially

Agreed there mate, i have a magnex on mine, and definatley no complaints, the sound is amazing and the quality is great. Easy to fit too.

I was looking at getting the Basturk one, but haven't bothered (the original exhaust is still working, only a slight leak)

I don't know if i would get the Basturk one anyway, prices start at £425 so are expensive, i know they are quality but don't know the noise level (they one have one box) and i don't want a noisey system, so I don't want to have to replace it soon, if its too loud.... I may take a trip to Regal autosprt to find out :-)

But it looks likely i will settle for a Magnex one now, as they can be had for under £300!!!

Unother unhappy Miltek customer here. This was on my old car, I ended up having it removed, selling it on and having a custom made exhaust fitted.

If anyone around the Bristol area want's an exhaust, I would recommend Infinity Exhausts in Yate - they only use top grade stainless, and their build quality is superb.

My VR's booked in for one in a couple of weeks time.

can't really fault my milltek, its the sh1t.

I have had a variety of exhausts on a varirty of cars over the years (makes me sound old) and the best exhausts I've had - have been custom made. For example I put a exhaust on My '69 BGT and It is still on and still working and it has Never rusted leaked etc etc (almost 20 years). My Bro had a custom one made for his Golf GTi in a place in Glasgow and it is still working rust fee some 6 years later. They use the right grade stainless like .306 (as a minimum). You will also get a lifetime guarentee with it.

My MG one was cheaper than a quick fit and my bros was the same as a Off the rack performance system.

Once you know who the good company is in your area you should visit them.

The added benifit is when you chat to these guys they ask - so what are you after Noise? performance? Single pipes? etc etc and they still meet the required legal CO2 levels etc, with a quality fit.

The only down side is you have to take your car to them to be fitted and it is not a 5 minute job as they are making it to fit your specific car and needs.

IMO Worth their weight and when I get around to it I will be fitting one to mine - not sure where yet as I have moved to London!

Good Luck

Didn't realise the Bastuck systems were that loud? Can anyone list the different sytems in order of noise level? I know it will be down to personal opinion and also other mods, but just as a rough guide?

[Dekerf1996 27]

the basturk ones only have one box... which is good and bad... I am thinking it may just make the system a bit too loud :-(

[rodney 17]

I have started a seperate thread to try and find a local guy to me for my made to order system and thought I would add the link so you can see the prices I have. Just to add to your quest.

I cant see the problem that people have with milteck, i think there really well made and the best fit i've had, I can only think its down to poor fitting that people are blaming the system for.

I've got a Miltek cat back system on my car which I picked up for £100 s/hand. I had been looking at a new Jetex system prior to getting the Miltek as I didn't want anything too loud but the Miltek fitted perfectly and sounds lovely. I don't have any pics but there is about a 5mm gap between the tail pies and my lower rear spoiler which is exactly what I wanted. It does knock or catch anywhere so maybe I just got lucky but I'm more than happy with it.

i have a scorpion exhaust with a de cat bypass, with piper cams n charger, it gurgels like a american muscle car love it, sweet n smooth as anything and roars/howls when you put your foot down, I don't have a air filter/induction kit on it yet

Had a powerflow exhaust system on my last Vr that sounded awesome, regarding power you don't get much power i think.(maybe a little)

Please note that this was American and also for MK4 golfs and that there was no mention of Miltek on there, i have always been led to believe that Miltek are the best for MK3 golf.

mk4 in america had our 12v engines

I am presuming this is a cat back system?

If so... this is a deal! http://www.performancecentre.co.uk/p/sv_pl.asp?VC=VWGOL03&PTC=EXS06
