Edition 30 - what first ?
SteveP:
It's got to be the Exhaust and get the updated SC map as it's much improved over the earlier versions :happy2:
Personally I would also consider other systems like the APR and Blueflame over the Milltek :smiley:

....Definitely a good idea to consider all those three exhaust systems, but I don't think there are any others which are as good as those three.
Steve, I know you are dissatisfied with Milltek's lack of response to your electronic communications - You've not bothered with face-to-face at shows or phone calls(?) - But I thought from our conversations with you that you were very satisfied with the Milltek on your car - Is that no longer so?
[I'm not defending Milltek in your case but am curious] :happy2:
SteveP:
Robin, I do believe you are trying to defend Milltek by questioning the way I have tried to contact them and to a degree suggesting it's my issue for not chasing them down at shows etc but as we always tend to say here ETTO. :smiley:
Also my comment you have quoted is purely saying that there is more of a market out there than just Milltek.
The quality of their product is OK and generally I have been happy with the system, there are some things I personally have grown to dislike and this was the reason for attempting to contact them.
As they haven't bothered to acknowledge my questions/comments this is what has lead me to say I wouldn't recommend them and if I can find a suitable alternative I would look to sell on the Milltek.

Thanks for the replies ....
I have the older Superchips DSG map on the car by choice - I do have the newer map on my computer and have had it on the car about 3 times but with the standard exhaust I prefer the surge you get from 4K to the redline with the older map.
The updated / newer map has so much more in the mid range you don't really get the same feeling .... if that makes sense - it comes in quite aggressively at 3K and evens off to the redline whereas the 'older' map feels like it builds all the way (because there is less power lower down) but with much more power than standard from about 4K.
With a full TBE I will get a Stage 2 version from Superchips and try it - though I feel it might make the older DSG map even more amusing !
I haven't ruled out other exhausts ... particularly the Jetex resonated ... but I want something that gives more power but no more noise. I don't think the APR system will fit what I want sound wise though I don't doubt it is quality . I have heard a Milltek resonated TBE and understand the Jetex is just as quiet.
As for that 'slippery slope' ... :laugh: it is something I have been on with many cars so know how bad it is :evilgrin:
