Default 3" exhaust questions

Hi Guys, im looking at getting either a 3" Revolution system or a Milltek. Both decats. Any opinions as to quality or power differences between them. Also which is the best sounding as im not looking for to much noise.

many thanks
James

I have the full Revolution 3" Decat system on my car, good fit and decent quality, nice sound on full throttle but comfortable to live with at motorway cruise speeds, excellent for power

Call Hayward & Scott, they do a range of different 3" scooby exhausts from decat or sport cat downpipes to centre pipe ( with or without resonator or silencer ) and choice of back boxes. Not too loud, all stainless, seems good quality 0 had mine over 6 months now no problem.

The Revolution (AKA Jetex) system is slip jointed which has caused repeated leaks on mine. The downpipe needs a bracket bent away or removed to fit an STi gearbox and the bellmouth could do with being bigger on the wastegate size.

Had to get my backbox to centre section slipjoint welded on the Revolution to stop the leak, still VFM - in fact I'm surprised theres only £50 difference, I thought the Miltek was much more than the Revolution

I had the revolution system and the quality was a joke.
