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:

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!

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

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.

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.
