I am sure that this has been done a 1000 times but i have the high flow filter and re-map and wondered what you all thought was the best way to go with the Zorst? Milltek seem to be the one everyone goes for but it's also the most expensive too. I like things sneaky so don't want loads of noise etc. I wondered about Blueflame, APR and custom built but there is no substitute for people in the know?
Any comments would be welcome.

You want a Milltek Turbo back or cat back (depending on your budget) but a resonated one. As it's quieter. I have non resonated & it's actually very loud. Which I like :wub:
 
Milltek here.

Chose the quieter of the two options and at normal speeds and load it's as quiet as the stock systeem,but obviously does get louder if you use the power.
 
Milltek here, but only because I got a lightly used one very cheap. Resonated one is nearly as quiet as OEM, unless at full tilt, but even then it's quiet. No booming on the motorway.

If I was doing it again, I'd go custom - Pipewerx seem to have a really good write up near me, but there are plenty of others out there. Other people local to you should be around soon & might know decent ones nearby...
 
Is there any performance advantage to be had by just fitting the Cat back part or is it just cosmetic?
 
My choice has been Blueflame with no cat and 2 silencers

Now that sounds lovely, ..great burbles! I've just picked up a full Blueflame system with 2 silencers and 100 cell sports cat for 699.00 GBP on Ebay a few minutes ago. It was fitted to a car for a magazine shoot and has only done 300 miles, so is practically new and comes with full warranty. I was going to buy a Milltek, but I've heard a few things about welds failing on them recently (I know they come with lifetime guarantee, but it's still a hassle to get bits exchanged etc), so decided to go for this instead. Thanks for putting your vid up! :)

Soz dude :sorry:. I saw it about 5 minutes after it was listed and spent an hour with my index finger hovering over the Buy It Now button, before I decided just to go for it. I knew it wouldn't be around for long if I didn't.

Must admit i was watching a Milltek on the bay myself, non res system but i was going to bid at the end from my phone but couldn't get any service, doh!! It went for £675 and looked brand new.
 
Congrats! I have heard also a S3 with the 100 cell cat Blueflame exhaust and the sound is very very similar as if you dont have the cat (like in my car).
