Milltek Exhaust

I also just lowered mine a little. Have you found you cant help but drop down a gear and smash it through every tunnel you go through now? Haha.

I do that with mine too
Shame most of our tunnels are too short of cost $5 to go through.

Shopping centres/undercover parking are good though

Its funny when people look around with the 'what the hell is that' face and realise the noise is coming from a little Polo!

[s4mmie]

Tunnels, what tunnels?? I want to smash it all the time now haha
On another note, fitted up an APR R1 diverter and it feels like I've unleashed the beast!
I had Guy check the stock diverter for me when I had it chipped but it must have started leaking since.
To all those chipped and still running the stock diverter, seriously consider upgrading. I thought my diverter was fine but it feels like I've added another 20-30hp by the seat-of-the-pants now
Next to fit the uprated dog bone engine mount on the weekend.

Good luck with that one.
It made my car shake since it transmitted the engine vibrations through the rest of the body.
I ended up going back to stock.

Might be better for the polo though.

Well fitted the dog bone mount up this afternoon, easy as pie. No need for presses or anything like that. I used a hacksaw blade to carefully cut the plastic outer of the stock mount and it practically fell out after a few light taps.
First impressions.. there's definitely a noticeable amount of engine vibration coming from the new mount. It's not bugging me at the moment though and seems to have tightened things up between gear shifts (no engine rocking in between) Yet to see if the missus is ok with it...

That seems to be everyones feedback on it, including the impressions from the other half. I've resisted doing mine for the reasons you've mentioned.

Yeah there is a noticable amount of vibration at first, but after having it on for a while, it goes un-noticed.

It gets worse with the air-con on.

It's fantastic when you're driving, but when your taking off from a hill or reversing up a hill (with a bit of load on the engine) the trims start to vibrate I'll give it a week to see if it grows on me.

One of the reasons I changed the bush was the flexi on the Milltek downpipe is rather fat and required the heat shield be manipulated away from it. It was still pretty tight and would rub on occasion. The bush has fixed that problem but I've obviously now got the engine vibrations coming through
I'm thinking I might ditch the Milltek and get an APR downpipe and put the stock catback section on. The APR downpipe has the flexi lower down away from the firewall, for obvious reasons now.

I will take the milltek if you don't want it!
