Exhaust question

[cally]

I am going to buy MTM full set of exhaust and i would like to know do i have to take the engine out from the engine bay to change the front pipes?

[AndyBG]

I think there isn't need for that...

Did you check out the miltek setup w/downpipes?

Hey Cally looking for more grunt :king:

Good choice for shure.

I am personally hesitating as well to get a MTM or Miltek exhaust + remap (as some French owners did with a great result...) it is temptating for shure

Keep us posted :thumb:

Does anyone know if the stock exhaust comes off in peices?

[cally]

I searched for an exhaust from ABT which cost way lots then MTM and Miltek, gees

Nope, its one huge piece from the downpipes back.

This video shows them taking off the stock system and installing a magnaflow.

As you can see its one huge piece and even both sides are joined together.

A bit short to really get the difference at the end... but sounds great to me I like it.

How does a miltek or MTM exhaust note sound vs this vid sound ? louder i.e. more hard core ? Similar ?

Ive only heard the Magnaflow system without downpipes and only heard the full Milltek system both resonated and non resonated. They do sound similar but I thought the Magnaflow had a more raspy sound to it. For the difference in cost though I think its a very nice option. Its only around $700 usd so around 500 Euro or 350 quid.

The Magnaflow system does have an X pipe so that should help with performance

I did know you were some kind of conservative guy FAB!!! I'm fully with you... the only thing I would change from the original look of my car is the indicators in white... I might just come by and steal yours one day as I have been really jelous since the RSunday.... :hihi: :applause:

In any case I would go Miltek all the way... on webba's car the sound was just soooooo good!!! and evil too!!!
