FAQs

What is a 'Cat Back' exhaust system?

A 'Cat Back' exhaust system replaces all exhaust components from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe. This means it does not alter the catalytic converter itself but modifies the piping, silencers, and mufflers downstream.

What is the difference between resonated and non-resonated systems?

Resonated systems include an additional silencer or resonator that helps to reduce the overall sound level, offering a more subdued tone. Non-resonated systems typically omit or reduce the number of resonators, resulting in a louder and more aggressive exhaust note.

Can I choose the sound level of my exhaust?

Yes, Milltek offers options like resonated/non-resonated and different system types (Road, Road+, Race) that allow you to tailor the sound. Valved systems also offer adjustable sound control.

What material is the exhaust system made from?

The system is typically constructed from high-quality T304 Stainless Steel or Titanium, chosen for their durability and acoustic properties.

Does this system improve fuel economy?

While improved exhaust flow can lead to a more efficient engine, significant improvements in fuel economy are not the primary benefit. Performance gains and sound enhancement are the main advantages.

What warranty is offered?

Milltek offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their exhaust systems for the original purchaser, subject to terms and conditions and proof of purchase. High-flow sports catalysts and downpipes have a separate 2-year / 80,000Km guarantee.

Will this exhaust pass emissions tests?

As the system replaces components *after* the catalytic converter, it should not affect emissions testing. However, always ensure your vehicle's catalytic converter is functioning correctly and that local regulations are met.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust system is excessively loud or has a significant drone.

Ensure you have selected the appropriate system type (resonated vs. non-resonated, Road vs. Road+/Race) for your desired sound level. Double-check that all silencers and resonators are correctly installed and that there are no leaks. Some drone may be inherent to higher-performance exhaust systems.

Difficulty during installation or poor fitment.

Confirm that the system is indeed compatible with your specific vehicle model and year. Ensure no original mounting points are obstructed or damaged. Professional installation is recommended if encountering significant fitting issues.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the exhaust.

While T304 Stainless Steel and Titanium are highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or road salt can eventually cause surface marks. Clean regularly with appropriate stainless steel cleaners. Significant corrosion may indicate a material defect, consult warranty information.

Exhaust valve not functioning correctly (on valved systems).

Verify that the valve control system (either original vehicle components or aftermarket replacements) is properly connected and functioning. Check for any obstructions around the valve mechanism. Consult your vehicle's manual or a specialist if the issue persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant improvement in exhaust sound quality, balancing sportiness with refinement.
  • Enhanced engine performance due to improved exhaust gas flow and reduced back pressure.
  • Durable construction using high-grade stainless steel or titanium for long-lasting reliability.
  • Precise fitment designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's original exhaust mounting points.
  • Multiple configuration options (resonated/non-resonated, valved/non-valved, Road/Road+/Race) to suit individual preferences.

Cons

  • Installation may be complex and could benefit from professional fitting.
  • The enhanced sound, particularly with non-resonated or Race systems, might be too aggressive for some drivers or legal requirements in certain areas.
  • Cost can be a significant factor compared to less performance-oriented exhaust systems.
  • Warranty terms apply only to the original purchaser and require proof of purchase.
  • Potential for drone at specific RPM ranges, even with engineered silencers, depending on the specific system and vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Milltek Cat Back Exhaust System typically involves removing the original rear exhaust section and fitting the Milltek components in its place. Due to the complexity and the need for proper alignment, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure optimal fitment and performance. Ensure all clamps and hangers are securely fastened.

Compatibility:

This system is specifically designed for certain vehicle makes and models (e.g., MK5 VW Golf GTI). Always verify the specific product listing for your vehicle's year, make, and model to ensure compatibility. Check if your vehicle is equipped with or requires specific valve control mechanisms if you opt for a valved system.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the stainless steel or titanium exhaust, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, specialized stainless steel cleaners can be used, always following the product's instructions. Inspect exhaust hangers and connections periodically for signs of wear or looseness.
