headers and cat-back

 

isn't it awesome?

 

Congratulations!

I will be ordering one tomorrow, I can't wait to hear how the installation goes and the sound and the performance and.......

 

thank... The installation is direct bolt-on, the fitting is awesome

 

i did the cat-back first &really liked it.
about 1 month later did the header. ( a 10 )

Nice exhaust!

I've been thinking about ordering a Milltek cat-back for my 05. Does anyone know who has the best price on the system?

BTW, could you provide a close-up shot of the tips?

Thanks!

 

Wow, they look great

How much noise is added with the addition of a header? Assuming you have the cat still, i wouldnt imagine it would be much more then a catback exhaust?

 

Nice exhaust... I, too, am curious as to your opinion on the ease of installation, etc.... been wanting to order the milltek but just want to hear more opinions of whether it drones in freeway speeds or not.... thanks.

 

Milltek is easy to install. No drones on the hwy. :smile:

 

the installation on mines was about 2 hrs (headers and cat-back)

btw, I noticed the flex joint of my OE headers was overheated after 1 yr of ownership (inc 3 track days)

 

KLZ,

Thanks for the close up pic of the exhaust tips. They look a lot like the tips on my JCW car. I like em!

 

a fairly large increase in sound with the addition of the header,

only when your' on it. like it should be. no drone.

I got mine though Webb Motorsports for $695.00.

 

That seems to be the normal rate...they sell it for the same price at stratmosphere

 

Sound clips?

 

I have a couple of sound (video) clips on my page. Just click the link below

(miltek header and catback)

 

onasled....the noise from your mini is absolutely amazing!

Do you think the header made much of a difference in making your car louder? Did you lose any torque due to the header?

 

sounds clips are in the Exhaust Shootout '04 thread

 

I had a droning problem that was quickly remedied. Do not let the tips touch anything on the car......it modulates the sound........all fixed...I love it!

 

I think I'm going to keep my suspension setup stock for a while, but besides that, you (onasled) have pretty much the exact aftermarket setup I plan on having in about two years. Less if I get a better paying job any time soon. Can you run 16's with that brake setup?

 

YEAH! Love the smoke video! Was that video taken when you already have 214hp or before?

I think My Invidia sounds a little less than Miltek with header.

 

Anybody have the Milltek header with JCW? Seat of the pants difference?

 

Yea, I think I had all the mods for the motor on at that point.
I have to say that now I can spin them MUCH easier, but I'm not sure whats different. Maybe that I switched my Unichip to the B map. Also the lighter wheels and tires must have something to do with it.
Funny how my MCS works, as some days it's faster then others. Weather certainly has a lot to do with it. Winter is fun! Time to get some new videos I think

 

Lighter wheels would make it a lot easier i would think...keep up the great work

 

onasled,

could you please post some pix of your front brake kit? TIA
