I just checked the website, and it states that there is a 27HP gain from the full exhaust kit. Are there Dyno numbers to back this statement? That is an awesome gain for $899. It also looks like the exhaust hugs the bottom of the car a little better than the factory offering.
|
A UK magazine, Performance Tuner, verified the results and yet another did a 3rd party test that validated the results. A car was tested at Scoobyclinic in the UK finding a 28.4bhp gain according to Kev Knight of Scoobyclinic. I'm sure some of our partners here in the USA will very soon be publishing USA dyno figures. -Pete

Do you know who this is avaiable through in the UK?

Any in car and external video so we can hear how it sounds??

Any news on the non-turbo exhaust system yet? I know it wil not do as well as the turbo version, but a little burble from my pipes would not hurt my feelings. :)
|
Is it California street legal? How does it affect factory warranty?
I'd also like to know what it sounds like. |

Have we found out how much bigger the pipe is? What is stock on a R56?
2 1/2"? 3" would be nice for a turbo. Does anyone one esle think this way too much money for a catback? |
The cat will pass in terms of emissions levels (when measured with an instrument) but other legal requirements are another thing.
Milltek has some video files at this link... http://www.millteksport.com/product....m?articleid=26 |
Is there a configuration that does not replace the second cat to keep it legal for G-Stock?

The gain is for the entire system. The $899 is just for the Catback. You also need the Downpipe with Cat for $799. So, your looking at around $1,700.
Thanks for the clarification, Robin. |
FLKeith, not at this time. It's possible we could do a special order but I can tell you adding a cat will increase the price quite a bit unfortunately.
The Milltek system is 2.5". The magic of the DP/Cat is the dramatic reduction in cat density. -Pete |
You are evil for posting this...purely evil. (looking at checkbook balance)

Yes the dollar per power is OK, but that's still assuming the power gain is actual. Milltek would benefit greatly by having this exhaust be independently dyno-tested with proper before and after graphs on the same car, on the same dyno.
The cost of the cat-back is on the slightly high side. It's priced $200 more than the more-complex R53 cat-back. Does it come with both sets of tips? The downpipe price, IMO, is absurd. Also, why is Milltek using only 2.5" pipe anyway? It's a turbo exhaust, you want FLOW, velocity be-damned. I must be missing something here; is the system all 321 stainless? |

no one answered what this full mod does to the warranty.

My MA told me that BMW has a track record of using any excuse they can to void the factory warranty, so I would guess that a full turbo-back exhaust system would be plenty of cause for them to void your warranty should anything happen to your engine.
Since I've never had a brand new car with full factory warranty, I'll be waiting for the JCW stuff to come out. No since in risking it for a couple extra ponies. |
$1700? GD!!! But seriously, i have a complete stainless Billy Boat exhaust system on my vette from headers back for about 1k. Just pretty damn expensive. Does it come with a happy ending? j/k :lol:

$1,700 seems very cheap to me... Ive been shopping for my 360 and a new Tubi St St sys with tails is over $5,500 + install for ~ $700... no cats. I luv the price of modding the Mini ! |
I'm bummed that the Militek was released with that tip - I was hoping for the single parallelogram style tip I saw on a site somewhere. With it looking like that I'd rather get the Alta exhaust.
