Post by: GTI-Ross on October 07, 2014, 10:31:01 am: Even though i have the 3" Race Milltek (MK6) I think i would have gone for scorpion now, they just sound a bit better IMO.

Would the 3" scorpion make much of a difference over the 2.75" miltek?.
Thing am liking with the miltek is the smaller rear box so should be neater?

Tried youtube to hear the scorpion one but no videos probably because its not long released.

cheers

BCS would be a better shot..
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?
Post by: greygti on October 07, 2014, 04:07:51 pm: Yep BCS all the way
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?

Post by: jonnyni on October 07, 2014, 08:54:51 pm: Looked It up there on google buddy, Ideally don't want to spend more than the £480 , So out of the above systems , Miltek , Scorpion and I see cobra do one as well , which would be best option?.
the BCS is too dear for me when I don't keep cars that long :)

Post by: rich83 on October 07, 2014, 08:58:19 pm: If you dont plan to keep your car that I wouldnt fit a cat back.... it doesnt gain you anything except a bit more sound.
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?
Post by: greygti on October 07, 2014, 09:10:30 pm: Yep I'll 2nd that ! Been there done that got the t-shirt , fitting a cat back on mkv gti is pointless unless ya want more noise
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?
Post by: jonnyni on October 07, 2014, 09:50:46 pm: That's why am fitting it folks for some noise just :smiley:.

will be removed come sale again so that's why I don't want to pay a fortune either :)
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?
Post by: greygti on October 07, 2014, 09:56:47 pm: Why don't you do a suitcase delete (take the back box out) it'll sound more meaty then
Title: Re: Miltek or scorpion cat back?
Post by: jonnyni on October 07, 2014, 09:58:15 pm: any links to this?. OR is it a case of getting an exhaust company to remove it and replace with straight pipe? , Any potential problems with the car running with no rear silencer?

cheers

Post by: jonnyni on October 08, 2014, 11:28:26 am: 3 weeks lead time for delivery for a BCS is the only downside at minute :(. Am impatient lol :P

Thats where a big company like Milltek will win every time. I could order a TBE and it would be on my doorstep at 9am.

True if the BCS is really worth the wait and a lot better than the milltek I may just bite the bullet and wait.

What way is it better?. Sound? Power?

Any links to a Cat back non resonated system on a mk5 gti ?

cheers

Arrived next day as well. :happy2:

Post by: Gene Hunt on October 08, 2014, 01:36:24 pm: Had a Milltek & now have a BCS on my ED30. BCS any day over a Milltek. Even there non res is not really louder than the stock VW system.

Post by: zed4 on October 08, 2014, 10:51:49 pm: I'm also considering an exhaust for our Golf. My girlfriend uses it day to day and she says its a bit boring and is too quiet! The Scorpion is tempting at that price. How much would a full system be?
