Has anyone fitted a milltek Cat back to their cupra them selves? I have fitted exhausts before but just wondering if there are any fiddly bits i should look out for and if there is anything in particular i need to do with it being milltek??
Milltek question
- Thread starter sibbocupra
- Start date
I was going to fit mine but in the end i paid somebody £30 to do it. Its quite easy and if you can get good access to the underside then you should be fine. its not difficult, just awkward.
I had issues when i did it to my mk4 GTI, the pipe looped over the back axel.....which meant i had to fire up the agle grinder! As long as theres no obsticles then im hoping it should be fine on some axel stands!
Ive heard that u have to mess about tightening the seals on a milltek, as in you have to leave them loose and then run it so the pipe expands.....or is that a load of rubbish?

IRC it doesn't go over the back axel, the front section is joined by an adaptor which basically a piece of pipe that slides over both sections and is just 2 bolts, this is replaced with the reducer, the bracket is on the drivers side of the car that needs releasing the old system then drops off , the new one for me just got fitted, we didn't really heat it then tighten it, we just put it together loosly got it in the right position then tightened it, started it and then tightened any clips, i think what you suggest might be a good idea as i'm sure mine sounds boomy when it gets hot.
Nice1, good info, sounds nice and simple! Im gonna get a non resinated system i think....is there and crackle and backfire.....because i want some!??
Rubbish, what kind of tone does it get then, surely a non resi must be louder than the standard pipe??

thats milltek for you they call it oem plus and charge a harm and a leg for it. Get a blueflame or eurojet.
mine was cheap at £220 for a 6 week old system otherwise i'd have gone for something different, probably pipewerx or even MV sport or even Jetex.

I dont want it to sound like a saxo with a drain pipe hangin off the back
which is why i'm going for milltek. Ive heard them on a lot of VAG's, brothers VR6 and S4. The youtube link above is perfect, just thought it mite have a little lift off rumble. Ive seen all the other versions on youtube and they all sound like a Sunday night at a car park full of corsa's and Saxo's.
Millteks make the car sound naturally powerfull rather than dwarfing engine and intake noise. Just wouldnt mind a little crackle every now and then! Plus they do the oval shape which looks perfect

Haha! Just from what ive seen on youtube, every exhaust that isnt a milltek sounds a bit generic....its like a raspy high pitched drain pipe noise, they dont have any specific tone, it could be on a cupra or a corsa 1.2 and you couldnt tell the difference. A milltek needs power running through it before it makes any noise. and the noise is a deep tone kind of RS4 M3 kinda sound.
Wasnt saying bluefin in particular but every other exhaust i hear has too much rasp. All you can hear is the exhaust and it sounds false. Millteks seem to blend nicely with intake and engine noise

the milltek is a raspy exhuast and sounds nothing like a m3 or rs4. The blueflame system is a deeper noise than the milltek and is said to be really really nice. A milly on a vr6 and s4 does sound the business but don't expect too much from your cupra as the s4 and vr6 benefit from their engine configuration. For what it's worth the milly doesn't really sound much different from a big power k1 with the standard backbox, other than being louder on full chat and idle
Thats why i want a milltek, becaue it doesnt over power all the other noises such as induction noise. Ive never heard a milltek exhaust that sounds raspy. I know what you mean with the V6/8 noises that other cars make, but the milltek seems to enhance the engine tone rather than it sounding like its got an exhaust bolted on if you know what i mean. Ive never heard a bluefin so cant really compare but all the vids ive seen online of other exhausts sound like a cracked exhaust or like the exhaust has fallen off.
