Ok, I am getting the Milltek header, but the cat bac ks are on backorder. Pat Wallis may well let me use his milltek cat-back, but we are both open to options on various other cat-back systems.

He was reccomending the Borla Sport.

Any opinions?

The Milltek header is best suited for:
Cat-back exhausts that have less restriction- Milltek, UUC, Magnaflow, Borla Race/Sport
You can use other Cat-back exhaust but the benefits of the header may be less than when using one of the Cat-backs above.

I had Milltek header with a Quicksilver and it made my exhaust noise much louder than with QS alone. Power was reasonably good, I switched to Milltek header and cat-back exhaust and it is quieter and has slightly more power mid to high rpm bands.

I have an S and I am purchasing through my employer-------------------------------------------------->>

So I need to go for what he can get at the moment.

The milltek is on backorder so we are pondering what to do to get me on the track fastest.

What about the Stebro?
