Milltek Exhaust

[Reecey]

Ive always had milltek on my cars. I love the sound they produce! What are they like on a 182? also whats the gains?
They dont seem to do many exhaust manifolds for the 182. Is this becuase it already has a 4-2-1 on it? So i would only need to buy the decat/cat and cat back?

Not really clued up on cliosports so any info would be great

known for cracking, dont sit right (standard), not much gain if any at all?? But I like mine nice exshaust tone not too loud, even with a milltek decat!

They have got a bad rep for the welds cracking but that was only due to one batch being sent out which had this problem, me and lots of others havent had any problems with the millteks and if you do do it I would definately recommend the decat as well, sounds lovely and pops a little on high revs.

^behave, how do you explain the 5 sti systems, 1 R8 system, 10+clio systems, 2 polo systems, 3 audi and 4 BMW systems i've seen that have cracked?

i think one of their welders is a monkey

[Toms_clio]

[Sam_K]

Nobody makes a manifold for the 182 or the 172 as the 4-2-1 of the 1st one is already very good.

Milltek quality has been an issue for a long time...

Gains with just the exhaust is not much...give a look:

This a system with a sports HJS cat (best quality available on the market), resonated centre section, rear exhaust and tips.
Numbers:
stock:Horsepower 178.9 Hp at 6625 rev/min
Torque 205.4 Nm at 5385 rev/min
exhaust:
Horsepower 184.3 Hp at 6595 rev/min
Torque 216.7 Nm at 5265 rev/min

No other modifications.

Well, I'm not particularly clever with cars, so I can't comment on welds and things like that. But I'm fairly certain my Milltek (and all of them) come with a lifetime warranty, and I've read a few posts comment on their customer service, and how when something has gone wrong, it's been resolved quickly and without issue. So for me the issues and constant comments about 'these are cracking exhausts lulz!!11' aren't really a concern.

Personally, I LOVE the sound. As a cat back system it was perfect in terms of noise and tone, however I have since had a cat mod done and the centre silencer removed, and I have now struck my perfect balance in terms of noise and comfort.

I love mine.

Isn't it very loud inside the car without the cat and centre silencer?

 

[Reecey]

what is the best exhaust system for the clio182? ive always had milltek because the cars ive had everyone said and recommended milltek as the best for, gains, sound and quailty.

 

[Gardus]

I don't know about gains, is there a dyno of the milltek system?
Do they change the cat?
For quality, there are bettere systems, Milltek is just very advertised as "the best" but it isn't.


Have you seen this page? That's total BS!

And this one?

I can assure that the Cooper S, no matter what exhaust you fit, without a remap doesn't get any power AT ALL

What can I say...it's obviously just marketing. Why they don't show you the dyno charts, with all the weather and car data? Maybe because they don't have a rolling road?

Mine sits a bit wonky but apart from that I love it.

I still have the cat in place, it's just been modified to a 2.5" exit.

It's a bit noisy inside, but just right for me.

The standard cat makes every system very quiet compared to a sports cat or a decat.
