I'm thinking about getting a resonated centre pipe for my Milltek.


Or


Putting my OEM system back on with my Milltek cats, like I had 2 years ago.

YES

But that is a step way too far, you would have to be really ancient like Glenn to do that.

I think it's the "Not Daily Drive" bit... that makes all the difference.

Yes I did it before when I had my first Milltek, But with the Milltek cats it does make it a little louder with the OEMs.

Mines a daily drive. I've got no cats and res valved but have disabled the valves. No drone, sounds loud but not too much. If you're going res you can get sell your cats and come out of it with a heavier wallet than you started.

Well I dont want to put the OEM cat back in as that would ruin the set up im running. (Different if they was gutted) I would be interested to hear a resonated Milltek.

Paul, no-one is as old as you are mate. :beerchug:

Sonny: Most of our customers with hi-flows go for the resonated as they get the best of both worlds as it were. Sound wise they
aren't too sanitised. Still get a really good tone. You heard Glenns in Germany.

As for getting older, unfortunately we all are. 1 day we will all be Pauls age and driving flying cars n that :jump:

I was thinking you could sell your sports cats and with the money buy catless DP's and res pipes and have change. Although looking at prices now that might not work out.
I've got a vid of my car getting mapped at MRC with no cat DP's and res milltek I'll upload it.

Sonny if you were getting old you would need a louder exhaust as you would be deaf, what was I saying.
