Looking at buying a Full TBE with decat or sports cat ! It's for my 2.0tsi scirocco!!
I want to balance power with cost!!
I've been offered £800 fitted for a brand new milltek!
Equally been offered about the same for a BCS!
Any other suggestions!?
-
Where has offered a Milltek with sports cat fitted for that much? I'd bite their hand off but make sure that is the sports cat turbo back system as the RRP is £1397.24 :signLOL:
-
Go for the BCS, better quality by all accounts!

I favour Milltek but BCS are the new kids on the block and folks with them here seem to be very happy.
Apart from actual performance and build quality, the other consideration is very subjective........... Sound!

Scorpion do a cat back - £400 Non Res, £500 Resonated

I would guess that's the price for the de-cat version :wink:

Milltek doesn't sell directly to end users so it really is a guess :P

This:

is the best exhaust, but its probably out of your price range. I'd say its worth the money though for sure.

If any APR dealer want's to do it at £1000 fitted ! I'll take one! :)

That was pretty much what I was implying :signLOL:
Also wouldn't be surprised if is plus VAT if it includes fitting.

Bloody hell thats cheap. Can't find a good system I want for less than £1300.
Loved my last Milltek system on my last car, they seem to be taking a hammering lately on here by other system fan boys but I loved the look and sound of mine. I'm now looking for a new system for this car and am leaning towards the BCS System for the Powervalve thingamajig (its my age).

These prices are hard to ignore
http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/blue-flame-exhaust.htm
But be warned a blueflame system is loud.
I went from a blueflame to a BCS powervalve but kinda miss the noise sometimes.
The quality on both BCS and blueflame exhausts are both really good, putting them side by side they are identical bar the silencers.
I found the blueflame easier to fit but the BCS system I have was second hand so the exhaust had already been expanded with the heat of being used.
It took me less than 2 hours to fit a brand new system so any decent garage should easily manage it in 2 hours too
Can't comment on a milltek as I have never owned one.

The BCS system is the one id go for personally

Although build quality is good, it is very loud, and if you can live with it.
Milltek vote from me, APR RSC if you can afford it would be my alternative choice.
