Default milltek exhaust

Does anybody know if you can replace the centre section on the milltek turbo back exhaust.
It seems a bit too quite

Thanks

Edge Automotive do steering wheels. Not done a wheel for me but they did a superb job on my Recaros (have a look through their portfolio for STi seats ). Stephen Palmer is who you want to speak to.

Transcal would also be worth speaking to.

Guys I cant see it anywhere, read most of this thread now. Are the front & rear indicator bulbs opposite or offset pins? The egg effect needs to go ASAP!

Has anoyone changed the rear plate bulbs to LED also? Looks cleaner along with the sides to match the Xenons a little. Thanks guys

For indicator bulbs, Philips Silver Vision WY21W.

There are other 'chrome' indicator bulbs out there but none provide anywhere near the output of the Philips.

EDIT: Just realised Philips no longer make the WY21W. That's a bit of a pain if one of mine goes as Silvertec are rubbish. Any other alternatives anyone?
