Wytco0 I did'nt bother taking the original system back, I have enough car parts cluttering my house as it is. Would be a sensible move though.
EdR32 the Milltek is definately worth the money. Its louder but not obtrusive. Sounds amazing when driven hard, but quiet at town/cruising speeds.
Spoke to a guy David at Milltek yesterday after showing him pics of the exhaust and he's in the process of getting me another system. Great customer service.
