Product Information

Full details

The Milltek Cat Back Exhaust System is designed for performance car owners seeking an upgrade in sound, aesthetics, and performance. It replaces the rear exhaust section, offering enhanced flow and reduced back pressure for a more responsive engine. A potential consideration is the variety of options (resonated/non-resonated, valved/non-valved, Road/Road+/Race) which require careful selection based on desired sound and performance characteristics.

FAQs

What is a 'Cat Back' exhaust system?

A 'Cat Back' exhaust system replaces all the exhaust components from the catalytic converter rearward, including the mid-pipe, muffler, and tailpipe. It typically does not alter or replace the catalytic converter itself.

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

Resonated systems include an additional silencer (resonator) to reduce noise and drone, offering a more subdued sound. Non-resonated systems omit or minimize these extra silencers, resulting in a louder, more aggressive exhaust note.

What does 'Valved' mean for an exhaust system?

A valved exhaust system incorporates an electronically or vacuum-controlled valve that can alter the exhaust flow path. This allows for adjustable sound levels, typically providing a quieter mode for cruising and a louder, more aggressive mode when opened.

How does the 'Road', 'Road+', and 'Race' system differ?

These terms refer to the intended sound level and performance characteristics. 'Road' offers a refined sporty sound, 'Road+' provides a more pronounced and aggressive tone, and 'Race' is designed for maximum sound output and minimal silencing, akin to track exhaust systems.

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 improve fuel economy?

While the primary goals are performance and sound, improved exhaust flow can potentially lead to minor gains in fuel efficiency under certain driving conditions. However, significant improvements are not guaranteed and depend heavily on driving style.

What is the warranty period for this exhaust system?

The Milltek Cat Back Exhaust System comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser, subject to terms and proof of purchase. High-flow sports catalysts and downpipes have a separate 2-year / 80,000Km guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Exhaust leak detected after installation

Check all clamped and flanged connections for proper tightness. Ensure all gaskets are correctly seated and new if required. Verify that no component is misaligned, causing stress on the joints.

Excessive drone or unwanted noise

If a non-resonated or aggressive system was chosen, this may be expected. For resonated systems, double-check that all resonators and silencers are correctly installed and not damaged. Consider if a different system variant (e.g., resonated instead of non-resonated) might be more suitable.

Poor fitment or alignment issues

Confirm the correct part number for your vehicle was ordered. Re-check that the original exhaust components were fully removed and that the Milltek system is being installed in the correct orientation as per instructions. Professional installer intervention may be required.

Valved system not functioning correctly

Ensure electrical connections for the valves are secure and correct. If using the vehicle's original control, confirm compatibility. If a new controller was supplied, follow its specific installation and pairing instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances engine performance through improved exhaust gas flow.
  • Delivers a sporty and refined sound profile without excessive drone.
  • Constructed from premium, durable materials like T304 Stainless Steel or Titanium.
  • Designed for a perfect fit, simplifying installation.
  • Offers customization options for sound and performance (resonated/non-resonated, valved, Road/Road+/Race).

Cons

  • Requires careful selection from various options (resonated/non-resonated, valved, sound levels) to match user preference.
  • Installation may require professional expertise for optimal results.
  • Potential for increased noise levels, especially with non-resonated or Race variants, which may not be suitable for all driving environments.
  • Warranty applies only to the original purchaser and requires proof of purchase.
  • High-flow sports catalysts and downpipes have a separate, shorter guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the complexity of exhaust systems, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment and safety.
  2. Component Check: Before installation, verify all components are present and undamaged.
  3. Fitment Verification: Ensure the system is compatible with your specific vehicle model and year, paying attention to options like resonated/non-resonated, valved/non-valved, and sound levels (Road, Road+, Race).

Compatibility:

  • This system is designed as a direct replacement for the original rear exhaust section, from the catalytic converter back.
  • Always confirm the specific part number (e.g., SSXM006) matches your vehicle's make, model, and year, as well as any specific trim or engine variations.
  • Valved systems may require integration with your vehicle's existing electronic control systems or may come with replacement active valve controllers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exhaust system regularly with mild soap and water. For stainless steel, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to maintain its finish and prevent discoloration. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the system for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose fittings. Check exhaust hangars and mounts.
  • Material Specifics: Titanium may develop a blue/purple patina over time, which is normal and does not affect performance or durability. Stainless steel should retain its shine with proper cleaning.
