rjgreen4 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 What are the different types of zorsts and what do they do to the noise and performance> Where can I get one fitted and the cost approx near cheshire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 The answer to Milltek or not is definately YES! The sound on an S4... I know AwesomeGTi are in Cheshire, they could be your best bet, and I'd imagine around the £750-£800 mark See here for stockists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Millteks on an S4 are lovely. I can hear JC's before I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Ooh yes! Daz has a Milltek cat-back on his S4 cab and it sounds simply divine! If you are after a sweet noise, that is where your money should be going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 You might as well buy it now. If you don't then when you do you'll realise how many days you missed out for. Get it asap and get more value out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I was fortunate enough to find an S4 with a cat-back system already fitted, although I didn't realise this until I went to view it for the first time. The sales chap from the dealership was none the wiser! I have to say that if this hadn't been the case, I probably would've had a system fittged anyway now that I've lived with it for a few weeks. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'm looking forward to hearing some of these motors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Go for it RJ! I um'd and ah'd for a while and now as Scotty says simply regret that I didn't have it done sooner. Cat back is the starting point which dramatically improves the noise without ever being loud. Go for the full system if you want a bit more noise AND extra performance. The 100mm tips look as well. Money well spent IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjgreen4 Posted April 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 resonating or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Having just listened to JC reverse out of my parking spaces and then turn round, I'd say do it very very soon! My 1.8T with BlueFlame sounds so weedy next to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 If you do mileage, you want resonated. If you want it a bit louder, go for non-resonated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 For Tyresmoke vs Google reasons, <font color="red">Milltek</font> has two 'l's in the middle as I mentioned the other day in the meets forum. Tyresmoke always rates very strongly on google. Type Ian_C into google and I am third on a world search. In fact, 'Ian_C Autoglass' brings up myself before our recently-retired managing director Ian Carlisle! Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolDave Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Who needs a V8 when you can have a 320bhp 1.8t for a couple of grand?! [/ QUOTE ] Someone who enjoys the sound of a 320bhp V8 more than the sound of a 320bhp turbocharged inline 4. There's just no comparison Remember how Lotus got slated in the press when the Espirit had a 4 cylinder turbo engine ("sounds like a cement mixer" said some of the press corps), so they put in a twin turbo V8 with very little power increase (up from 300bhp to 335bhp) and all the complaints about the engine sound stopped!

P_G Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Plus the fact that it is a 344 bhp V8 which if a full Milltek system is put on go up to a 360+bhp V8 with excellent soundtrack thrown in for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Easy gents! Owning a V-Twin motorcycle with a full race exhaust system, I know exactly what you mean. The fact a 750 four is just as fast but sounds pants just isn't the point BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] There's feck all "for free" about S4 ownership P_G. Also I don't think it'll be long before the 1.8T mob start pointing out that it's actually 344PS not BHP. They get so anal about such details. Guess it matters more when you're starting from 190 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
