Title: SCORPION OR MILLTEK
Post by: candy turbo on November 30, 2013, 10:58:58 am
Looking at a cat back for my mk6 , ive used milltek before on vw and audi and been pleased with them but recently used a scorpion on a RS megane 250 and was pleased with that too
So any opinions on either on a mk 6 gti would be good , cheers

Wigit has a Milltek race cat back for sale on here, practically brand new and a bargain imo  :happy2:

I very nearly bought it myself but he got let down by the original buyer and I'd pulled the trigger on a BCS system in the meantime..

Milltek FTW but you considered the Eurojet item.

We run this on our Mk5 Golf GTi

After fitting a Scorpion on a TTRS a few weeks back I would avoid.  It was meant to be a full 3" system.  Customer wanted it to be a bit louder so I removed the centre box.  The internals of the box measured in at 2 1/4"!

BCS every time for me.

Eurojet is a good system.  Very cheap.  Fairly loud.

Buy Andy's over the Scorpion.  :happy2:

What's your thoughts on Jetex. They come cheaper and I had one on my mk2 golf 16v and it was great.

I got my BCS TBE fitted on Monday...... I took my milltek catback  off........ It's for sale on here. 

The BCS is in a different league, 3" right through.   :drool:

The performance and sound is mega. Just what i wanted. I took a cabin video which isn't brilliant, but gives a taster.  Turn volume right up:



For me the bcs non power valve is everything I wanted the car sound to be. Audiable when needed, deep with a lovely burble that makes you want to leave the car ticking over when unpacking the shopping, but not like a chav in a corsa, and fine on the motorway. Just did 200 miles today to test it, all ok! :happy2:

Milltek is fine, but just didnt quite say GTi to me.

Speaking from experience, scorpions tend to give a bit of bother. I have a Milltek system now and personally think it is a lot better.  :happy2:
