looking to get an exhaust for my gti and not sure weather to get a miltek or bc etc or to go and get a custom exhaust made..
does any 1 have a custom exhaust fitted? what does it sound like?
not really wanting to make it louder.. wouldnt mind it having a nice tone and burble is what im looking for.
all input is appreciated
-
BCS

if anybody has vids or links to vids so i can hear some systems out that would be much appreciated.

search on youtube mate?
ill try and find a decent one for u
-
its boost controlled so it will be as loud as your right foot is heavy ;)
-
I have a non res BCS turbo back (non power valve). I absolutely love it. Might be worth getting a resonated system if you are worried about sounding too loud.
Stage 1 remap made it sound even sweeter!
-
I have a custom bcs exhaust and love it

I said it first lol :booty: :booty: :booty:

As all above BCS...had a powervalve on my ed30 & now have one on my golfR...awesome exhaust mate :happy2:
-
Another vote for BCS here, I only have a poverty spec non powervalve sports system but it's a fantastic bit of kit :happy2:
-
Nobody a fan of Millteks? And with the powervalve is there any chance of the valve getting caked in crap and then either staying open or closed?

Milltek rust and crack
BCS don't, sound better and look better

No chance :grin:

Great stuff il be ordering a powervalve then soon! Thanks for clearing that up Nige!

I've recently had a Milltek exhaust fitted.
Got to say I'm very happy with it, came with an 80,000 mile/km guarantee from AMD in Essex.
-
BCS get my vote too... Love Mine!
-
Can any 1 give a non biased opinion not just what they have.. Eg. Some 1 who has had both?? Cheers
-
Yes me. Had a miltek on lasy car (leon cupra r) was average until it cracked. Got a BCS on the VRS albeit a serious custom job (thanks Dave and Nigel) and it's 1000% better quality in every way

I've had Milltek exhausts on my last 4 cars and other than having to have 2 warranty replacements on the last one I had (ed30 due to a tailpipe splitting and a failed backbox weld) I'd have to say on balance that my experience of Milltek has been very good, changed to BCS for my mk6 due to quality, price, a local business to me and the fantastic reputation, so far I really can't fault the BCS one I have and I was able to have a custom tailpipe fitted and have the noise just how I wanted and being able to chat to and see your exhaust being made and the quality of work was a massive selling point :happy2:
-
BCS or Pipewerx FTW - check out the cost differences as am not sure what the difference is
-
Powervalve on DSG is incredible. Refined when off boost, Rallye Car on boost.

Does anybody have a video of just a normal bcs non res cat back by any chance?
My edition 30 just needs the bark to match the bite.
Mr Nigel I shall be calling you Tuesday if you spot this :grin:

Judging by YouTube videos, BCS would be my choice.

Just had a milltek cat back non resonated fitted on Friday & I'm loving it so far but haven't 'lived' with it long enough to be able to give a decent review.
-
I have a non resonated 3" turbo back jetex,qualitys good - fitment great - sounds awesome at full chat , i must put a vid up !!
-
On all three my golf GTI's in the past 4 years.
I have used, Remus car back, Miltek, APR RSC and currently BCS power. Valve catless.
Overall fit and quality hands down to the BCS.
Miltek broke at joints as well as burnt out the glass fibre in the mufflers.
APR was loud outside but never even remotely intrusive in the cabin.
The remus rusted out.
This time I tried the BCS system. I can't be more happy if I tried. Been on my car for around 3 months.
Also did a 1900km round trip last weekend. Sounded great when required.
If the APR system was not so expensive I might get one again. But quality, sound, fitment and price.
BCS all the way!!!!
-
Thanks for that :happy2:
Powervalve system below featuring the optional DP Wrap...

Hi Nice, any reason why just the dp is wrapped and not the whole length of the exhaust? Thanks
-
Hi there
Wrapping the pipe is designed to have two important effects
1) To reduce under bonnet temperatures in order to maintain a dense charge into the engine ( and in addition reduce heat soak into surrounding intercooler piping)
2) The more heat energy in your exhaust, the better spooling of the turbo as the hotter the exhaust gasses, the lower their density, and the higher the pressure drop.
Pressure behind the turbo outlet is a big red light for tuners - the lower the pressure here the more boost you can run - so go big Dp and wrap that sucker... :happy2:
Cheers

My downpipes wrapped :P haven't had any issues but some friends of mine downpipes/manifolds have cracked due to the heat being stored by the wrap...they could have been given duff info from the garages they went to but it's odd that 2 friends on 2 occasions have had the same full systems, same diameter and material yet the wrapped mani has cracked every time. the cars where 106 GTi's ( we've all had them ) and the exhausts where bought from the same place as it was a group buy. Could be the quality of the exhaust but it's strange that on both occasions the wrapped manis cracked. Luckily my Quiksilver rallye head conversion never cracked :P I Check my downpipe every time I jack her up for piece of mind but as said above, I've had no issues with mine.

That's the money shot, bet she sounds the dogs dingles now. :congrats:

Sounds good.... not too loud though being the prestige system
-
Nige just the kind of reply I expected :grin:
the exhausts look quality I hope the sport is not too loud
Rich the black tips look fantastic and they are sitting perfect nice car buddy :happy2:
-
^^^^ Nope, not IMO.
The Sport System has a slightly deeper note/burble than the Prestige System and only a wee bit louder than the OEM sysytem. I've had my Sport Powervlave on for 1 1/2 years now and it still puts a smile on my face whenever I open up the taps (and STILL makes my wife roll her eyes to the heavens, so a win win).
