sorry realy last thing is the exhaust steel or stainless steel?

What is the Miltec like on the motorway, I hate to sound like an old trout, but the last stainless sports exhaust I had was great around town, but a royal pain in the rear on long journeys.

Same as wobbly mate.To be honest you can forget its there when just trundling round,it has a slightly more powerful and lower tone on tickover but thats it until the foot is well planted and the boost comes in then it sounds like a jet fighter.

For looks and sound.

I suppose that I could advertise that the cat-back system will give you a significant gain in power and torque, but that would quite simply be a load of rubbish.

The truth is that it will give you a nice sound, that's not intrusive during cruising, and it will look good too! Power gains are virtually zero, unless your existing one has a blockage, in which case the gains will be noticable!

Adam.

At a guess, the sound.
If your exhaust is on it's last legs then it adds to it. If you don't want the exhaust just go for the RICA no-one is forcing you to! :)

Adam,

Is the offer available for vpcuk members residing outside the UK, where the ECU will be shipped over to you for re-mapping? Do I need to get the offer code from Justin?

Appreciate if you could let me know the offer price for the 280 and 304 Rica upgrades. I am residing in Malaysia.

Cheers.

Unfortunately this is only available for the UK because the cars need to come to either ourselves or to Chip Tuning Scotland. Sorry!
