I have just had a miltek exhaust fitted on my gti (r32 style) non res.

I've noticed myself using more petrol. does it increase fuel consumption?

Is it a cat back or turbo back? Probably using more petrol because your enjoying the noise.

No difference in consumption with my cat back milltek.

Yeah, your probably hammering it through tunnels, etc, to hear the noise

I've found I use more fuel on my TDI since I had my turbo back system fitted. But that's because I love the sound and drive faster and harder! Haha.
