Milltek Exhaust

Has anyone installed this exhaust on your Coupe? I am thinking about this and am wondering if there were any problems with the install. Any feedback about the sound within the interior , with or without the resonator. would be appreciated. One last question, has anyone installed this on a GP2? I have the diffusor on my coupe and am concerned about the fit. View my gallery to see how it looks, really changes the appearance.

The Twin Round GT80 exhaust fits better with the JCW bumper ( JCW stock diffuser ), the Twin oval come too close and will need trimmed on the stock JCW diffuser and possible on the GP2 diffuser.

So if you worry then go with the Twin Round and they fit both JCW bumper Stock but .. since you have the GP2 diffuser ( add on to JCW bumper ) then its will be close on the length of the barrel, not width because its about the same size as the S and JCW barrel. If anything you might come close on the barrel closest to the exhaust. Worth a try. If anything you might have to trim the gp2 diffuser near the rear of that barrel. You can see the JCW exhaust does have some space to the rear diffuser.

See pics below on a R58 with JCW bumper ( no gp2 diffuser )

We sell the Milltek Exhaust, but honestly you need to be warned you will spend a lot of time trying to get it straight and it's a huge pain. We've installed them in the shop and you need to be prepared. And if you don't get it right it will move and melt your bumper.
