Milltek ...

A couple of questions for the Milltek owners, (Or anyone with knowledge on them)

Is the cat back the same bore as the full system, I seem to remember something about the Astra one being different, the cat back being narrower, but could have been dreaming !!

Can the cat back fit a sports cat , and will a sports cat fit onto my decat pipe (Magnex) , or is there something between them ?

Basically wanting to know if cat back is the way to go , then add a sports cat further down the line , to go with the exsisting decat, or would I be better off (from a performance point of view) going for the full system .

Also is Thorney the cheapest place to get one ??

Any feedback appreciated ..

Hi mate, the full system & the cat back both have the same bore size. The sports cats is the same where by you can use add it later (any VXR/GSI one will do). The full system is: front de-cat pipe - sports cat - cat back. I myself started with a front pipe & added the sports cat & cat back a month or two later.

Cheers mate, thats the way I was thinking to do it, have the front decat, so cat back next then sports cat I recon ...

[Flinty]

yeah, I suppose that is a good thing; being able to interchange the bits...

Have you got the pre-cat on already?

[Bainie]

Precat is not on at the moment as I am awaiting a new turbo under warranty , soon as that is on the Precat will be on ..

[Flinty]

good idea, at least then you'll be taking the heat away quicker from the new blower aswell....

Hello, Bainie,

This is what I have done, lol.

Had the pre-cat fitted first, well, about a month ago, really like the sound of it, you can really hear the difference, lol.

Got a cat-back in the shed and a sports cat on order, so should have a turbo-back system by next week end, lol.

The system is really a mixture, Scorpion pre-cat, cobra sports cat and a milltek cat back.

will let you know how I find them.

Just a note if you are having your turbo replaced under warranty, it is worth to ask them to replace the clamp which clamps the turbo to the pre-cat. the first thing my mate said after he fitted the pre-cat for me, was "you lucky bA5***D", he said that the threads of the clamp was eating itself due to heat, it almost seized, so, worth to have that replaced too, hth.
