Had the option of quads when I got a Tubi, went for and recommended by them to go oval. No regrets. Only a tiny bit bigger oval exits than stock but does look the part.

Afraid not, Milltek are not prepared to maintain the warranty on a sysem if it is not on the car it was originally fitted to, even if they did the transplant. I checked. More attempts to bleed money out of you for a new system.

In fairness to Milltek, i phoned them to see if they would replace my two back boxes when they started to show faint signs of tarnishing.

As i bought them 2nd hand with no reciept although they wouldn't replace them they did offer to put new tips on free of charge if i went to see them.

Right descision made, I'm going for the Quads, as I prefer the look of them - more aggressive and individual in my view.

Speaking to Milltek today, they haven't got any made, but shouldn't take too long for them to knock up. I am going non-res without valves.

Can't wait...for the noise

I expected to hate them, but actually they look OK, think I would stick to the RS look though

Tough call Oli - they look great, but also look similar to lesser mortals (like S4s)

Doesn't the B7 S4 have quad pipes? So won't a Milltek with quad pipes just make an RS4 look a bit too much like an S4?

Yep, you are correct, to those who don't know maybe.

However the MTM and tubi are quads, so whats the difference. I just prefer the quad to ovals

I believe both have changed to oval now due to popular demand. But different is good. you just need to get the car to go faster now so people can see the back!! :wink:
