Hello
Still trying to buy a 6.0 VXR went with the intention of coming home with the one in the classifieds Red 9000 miles. But I was not over happy with the car.
How much loader is the Milltek Cat back over the standard pipes.
Anyone any video links?.

The difference was well worth having on mine. Let's you hear it, but not as noisy as Wortec. Video on the Milltek site.

Bit of a drive to kent, went and had a look at it a few weeks ago, it is a very nice straight looking car with a milltek exhaust, sounds nice and deep, but not overly loud.

price is a bit steep but low miles, and a few stone chips to front bumper that would need sorting, also the badges would want to be changed too.

I enquired after a Miltek system for my VXR and was told they do not make them for Monaros or VXR8, they did produce them for the LS1 Monaros available from Linden special vehicles according to there site, not sure if Linden are still in business ?

They are local to me so I am now trying to get info from a "friend of a friend" who works there.

They made them for LS2 (mine) and CV8 Monaro too. They stopped ages ago though.

Is that LS2 VXR8 or Monaro, not sure if the exhaust in the Newport ad is a Miltek looks like Wortec tailpipes

They don't do any R8 and mine was a 'Ro. Tailpipes are ovals, a bit like the Wortec.

miltek makes a nice sound, more subtle than wortec as already mentioned. More traditional than Italian.

Thanks chaps , hope to view one this week. It been waxoyled from new which I like as there seems to be very little underbody protection and I noticed when they where new some where going off on the underbody with being stood around for quite a while.
Have to say though I thought this was good, as he would take anything over 19k
