FAQs

What is a 'Cat Back' exhaust system?

A 'Cat Back' exhaust system replaces the factory exhaust components from the catalytic converter back to the tailpipe. It typically includes the mid-pipe, muffler, and tailpipe, designed to improve flow, sound, and aesthetics.

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

Resonated systems include an additional silencer or resonator to dampen exhaust noise, resulting in a quieter, more refined sound. Non-resonated systems omit this additional silencing, producing a louder, more aggressive exhaust note.

What does 'valved' mean for an exhaust system?

Valved exhaust systems feature an internal valve that can control the flow of exhaust gases. This allows for adjustable sound levels, typically offering a quieter mode for cruising and a more aggressive mode for spirited driving, often controlled via vehicle electronics or a separate controller.

What materials are used in Milltek exhaust systems?

Milltek systems are typically constructed from high-quality T304 Stainless Steel or Titanium, chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and sound-enhancing properties.

Does this system void my car's warranty?

Modifying the exhaust system may affect your vehicle's manufacturer warranty. It is advisable to consult your vehicle's warranty documentation or dealership. However, Milltek provides its own limited lifetime warranty on the exhaust system itself.

How does this system improve performance?

The system's wider pipework and optimized design facilitate better exhaust gas flow and reduce back pressure. This allows the engine to expel gases more efficiently, leading to potential gains in horsepower and torque, and improved throttle response.

Can I install this system myself?

While designed for direct fitment, professional installation is strongly recommended. This ensures proper alignment, secure mounting, and avoids potential issues like exhaust leaks or vibrations that can arise from incorrect installation.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust Leak Detected

Check all clamps and connections for tightness. Ensure all gaskets are properly seated and intact. Leaks can occur at connection points or if the system has been damaged. Professional inspection may be required.

Excessive Drone or Vibration

This can occur with non-resonated or race systems. Ensure the system is correctly installed and that no components are touching the vehicle's chassis. For some vehicles, a resonated version or an additional resonator may be necessary to reduce drone.

Reduced Performance After Installation

Verify that the exhaust system is correctly installed and that there are no kinks or obstructions in the pipework. Ensure all connections are sealed properly. Consult a professional installer if the issue persists.

Muffler or Silencer Damage

Inspect the silencer for physical damage. Damage could be caused by impacts from road debris. Contact Milltek customer support or your installer for assessment and potential replacement under warranty if applicable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Installation:

The Milltek Cat Back Exhaust System is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment. However, professional installation by a qualified mechanic or exhaust specialist is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment, alignment, and secure mounting. This prevents potential leaks or stress on the system.

Compatibility:

This specific system (SSXFD098) is designed for the Ford Fiesta ST 180. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year before purchase. Check for any specific fitment notes provided by Milltek for your vehicle variant.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exhaust system regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive automotive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the system for any signs of damage, loose fittings, or leaks. Check exhaust hangers and clamps for wear.
  • Material Specifics:
  • Stainless Steel: Generally requires minimal maintenance but can be polished to restore shine.
  • Titanium: Can be polished and may show heat coloration over time, which is a natural characteristic.
  • Warranty: Refer to the Milltek Limited Lifetime Warranty terms for specific coverage details and requirements. Proof of purchase is necessary.
