Miltek exhaust ?

[Aaron182]

may sound daft and pointless but u cant blame me for asking lol.
i previously saw a post on here of someone claiming to of had bhp gains from a scorpion system named (192) i think it was around 7 with a decat
does anyone know of any gains from a miltek exhaust and decat few months old doesnt seem to be bad quality as others describe them.

 

[Gouldy]

the welds will crack bud. i didnt believe the hype until i witnessed it first hand. i have seen a few milteks crack on the welds and start blowing. id stay clear tbh

 

[Aaron182]

ive already done a few thousand miles on it lol and some track time and i was first owner so its warrantied atleast :dapprove:

anyone know what its like next to a rs192 performance figure wise?

 

[Gouldy]

there will be zero diffference in hp between the 2.

you will have one of the good ones if your miltek doesnt crack, but there is time yet

 

[Aaron182]

so the miltek gives about 7hp gain with decat aswell on rollers ?

 

[Gouldy]

no, neither of them will give you that sort of of a gain.

 

[Sanders]

Unless your using dodgy rollers

most dynos have an adjuster

Get a yozza sound much better mate

You'll see maybe 2-3hp with a full system and Decat, if you're lucky. All of these hp gain claims are hyped up bullshit.

RS192's crack too....
This after 2 years & 11,000 miles, Scorpion are replacing it tho under lifetime warranty.

more than one person have claimed atleast 7-8bhp :s

there are loads of rolling roads out there with "questionable" results - just check the reliable ones on here and you'll see the clio is extremely hard to get ANY gains from without a serious wedge!

and also as it has been posted on that topic you linked us to:

Unless its done on the same day, back to back, without any changes in rr calibration/humidity/temp whatsoever, your graphs prove absolutely nothing im afraid. Im not being a ballbag, thats just fact.

Everyone says they crack, but it's largely forum b*llocks.

It's not a Milltek problem. Mine's been on the car for 50,000 miles and five years.

they are not all bad, but alot are. back when i had my GTTDI highline and i was into my VAG stuff there were reports of millteks cracking

 

[Jacko90]

Millteks are actually quite expensive considering there is fair amounts of speculation over the welds cracking. Personally, does it really matter over how much hp it gives you? Theres not point expecting a lot of hp just from an exhaust as its not going to happen. All it will do is help the car breathe a little easier.

great PR/advertising

crap quality control

 

[Aaron182]

all adds up eventually lol no worries then

 

[Blue Mez]

cracking is usualy due to the rear/centre exhaust mount rubbers sagging and putting extra strain on specific parts of the exhaust.

 

[jack_davey]

I reckon a lot of the cracks occur where people try and force the exhaust into a position to get the tailpipes sitting perfectly in the bumper.

Well yeh, that aswell, as the brackets are a few cm's off usualy.
