Milltek LCR Turbo back exhaust
As some of you know I'v been talking to Milltek about developing a 3" down pipe and sport's cat for the Mk1 LCR.
Well my car is now with Milltek for them to do the business
Phil from Milltek has said he will try and get the guy's to take some photos of the process so when I recieve them I will post them up.
Also I discussed with Phil the possibility of changeing the tail pipe design, which he was very happy to do, we had a look at a couple of tail pipe's and we have picked one which fit's the bumper recess perfectly, I did'nt get a chance to take any pictures but it is very similer to the K1 tail pipe![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
so IF they can get this to work this will be put on aswell,
Again I'll keep you posted with details of the new tail pipe IF it work's.

If you could get them to do a more oval design, like the OEM one Daz that would sway alot of people more towards the Milltek system I think. Don't really know anyone who like's the current design, people just by Milltek because they know it's quality.
You must be so excited DK, good to hear they are considering a change of tail pipe. Would definitely sell more exhaust if they did.
I look forward to seeing / hearing the progress!

You do know that your going to have everyone popping round to yours straight after you get the car back to have a look and a wizz round. Make sure you have plenty of extra petrol laying around the place
So your coming round at the weekend then
After the longest week ever the car is now home
Firstly we have a little bit more work to do before the system will be released for most production, understandable Milltek dint want to produce and sell anything that is going to fail or not perform so I've got a bit of road testing and then some cheeks to be done before it's signed off.
The System
The system I am running is a 3" down pipe going into a 200 cell sports cat, mid section is 2.75" mandrel bent tubing going into a 3" silencer with a single 3" exit pipe surrounded by a 6" X 4" tail pipe tip.
I'll get some better pictures tomorrow when it's clean but personally I think it suit's the back of the car really well.
The Noise
At tick over you get a slightly deeper burble over the cat back system
under "Normal" "sensible" driving condition's again the full system sounds like the cat back but a little bit deeper, it's when you raise the rev's up to 3.5k that it starts to come alive from inside it sound's like how you would expect a powerful car to sound 
It will also give off small pop's and burbles on over run and down shifts, while this sound's good it's not good for the cat as the unburnt fuel damages the coating on the filter in the car
Drone
I drove about 114 miles down the M1 and there was no drone from the exhaust what so ever, I have had loud system's before and they were unbearable at motorway speed's but this is 100 time's better.
Emission's
Milltek carried out a before and after emission's cheek and even though we are using a 200 cell cat the emission's are lower than they were with the OE cat
Performance
Now the important bit
As well as the emission's they also did a before and after back pressure test, I cant remember the exact figure but I think the full system reduced back pressure by about 30% over the cat back system, I will correct this if I wrong.
Driving the car you can really feel the difference the Turbo spool's a lot quicker and pulls a lot harder, I will try and get some log's or a rolling road session as soon as poss.
The next thing to do is to get the car remaped to stage 2 as there is a chance that it might start to run lean which in the long run will harm the cat.
I hopeing to get the car on a ramp over the weekend so I'll try and get some pictures from the under side.
All in all I'm very very happy the system is great and the service I have recieved from Milltek has been excellent, When the system goes into full production I would highly recomend it

Good stuff Darren, look forward to seeing this system and getting your feedback on the stage 2 map which I presume you are going to AMD to do!
BTW any info on how they are pricing this system up?
