Product Information

Full details

The Milltek Cat Back Exhaust System is designed for performance car enthusiasts seeking an enhanced driving experience through improved sound, reliability, and aesthetics. It replaces the rear exhaust section, featuring wider pipework for better flow and reduced back pressure, leading to noticeable performance gains. While it offers a sporty sound, a potential caveat is the need to choose between resonated and non-resonated options to manage noise levels according to personal preference and local regulations.

FAQs

What is a 'Cat Back' exhaust system?

A 'Cat Back' exhaust system replaces the original exhaust components from the catalytic converter's outlet to the rear of the vehicle. It typically includes the mid-pipe, resonator (if applicable), and the tailpipe section.

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

Resonated systems include an additional silencer (resonator) to reduce sound intensity, offering a quieter, more refined tone. Non-resonated systems omit this component, resulting in a louder, more aggressive exhaust note.

How does a valved system work?

Valved systems feature an electronically or vacuum-controlled valve within the exhaust. This valve can be opened or closed (often via a button in the car or automatically based on driving conditions) to adjust the exhaust sound, allowing for quieter cruising and a more aggressive tone when desired.

Will this exhaust system void my car's warranty?

While Milltek systems are designed for a direct fit, installing any aftermarket performance part can potentially affect your vehicle's manufacturer warranty. It is advisable to consult your vehicle's warranty documentation or dealer for specific details.

What material is the exhaust system made from?

The system is constructed from high-quality T304 Stainless Steel or Titanium, chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and sound-producing qualities.

What is the Milltek Limited Lifetime Warranty?

The Limited Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original purchaser for the lifetime of the product. Proof of purchase is required, and specific terms and conditions apply. High-flow sports catalysts have a separate 2-year guarantee.

Can I install this system myself?

While possible for individuals with mechanical experience and the correct tools, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment, avoid leaks, and maintain optimal performance and safety.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust system rattles or vibrates excessively.

Ensure all clamps and hangers are securely tightened and properly aligned. Check for any contact between the exhaust system and the vehicle's chassis or underbody components. Professional inspection may be required.

Exhaust leak detected (hissing sound or visible soot).

Verify that all slip-fit joints are fully inserted and secured with the provided clamps. Check the integrity of gaskets at connection points. Retighten connections or replace gaskets if necessary.

Reduced performance compared to expectations.

Confirm that the correct system was installed for your vehicle. Ensure there are no internal blockages or kinks in the exhaust path. For valved systems, confirm the valve is operating correctly and opening as expected under load.

Unwanted drone at specific RPMs.

This can occur with non-resonated systems. Consider if a resonated version or additional sound-deadening material in the vehicle cabin might be a suitable solution. Valved systems may offer a quieter setting at certain RPMs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Noticeable improvement in engine performance due to better exhaust flow.
  • Sporty and refined exhaust note that avoids excessive drone.
  • Durable construction using high-grade stainless steel or titanium.
  • Designed for a precise fit, simplifying installation.
  • Multiple sound and performance options (resonated/non-resonated, valved/non-valved, Road/Road+/Race) to suit individual needs.
  • Backed by a Milltek Limited Lifetime Warranty* for assured quality.

Cons

  • Non-resonated or Race systems may be too loud for some drivers or public roads.
  • Installation may require professional expertise for optimal results.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard exhaust systems.
  • Requires careful selection of resonated/non-resonated and valved/non-valved options to match desired sound.
  • Warranty applies to the original purchaser only and has specific terms and conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This system is designed as a direct replacement for the OEM exhaust system from the catalytic converter back. Ensure you select the correct model variant for your specific vehicle make, model, and engine. The `SSXFD254` variant is specifically listed for the Ford Focus RS MK3 2.3 Ecoboost.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the original rear exhaust section and fitting the Milltek components. Due to the precision engineering, it should align with existing mounting points. However, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure optimal fitment, alignment, and sealing. For valved systems, integration with the vehicle's existing electronic or vacuum control systems may be necessary.

Care: The T304 Stainless Steel or Titanium construction is highly resistant to corrosion. To maintain its appearance, regularly clean the exhaust tips with a non-abrasive automotive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or wire brushes, which can damage the finish. Occasional polishing with a stainless steel polish can help retain its luster. Check exhaust hangars and mounts periodically for signs of wear or damage.
