Milltek Catback

[Stevedjwright]

Evening gents.


Done a far bit of searching and can't get a definite answer.


Will a milltek catback system give the car a flatspot ?


I'm thinking the resonated one still has the centre box so no flatspot ?

Anyone confirm this.






Thanks
Steve

Even the resonated still gives a flat spot, no where near as back as decatted and non res, but there's a slight flat spot!

Cheers for clearing that up.

Will a generic remap get rid of it ? Like a superchips, or do they need to be live mapped to remove it?

A generic map will help, but to get the most out of it a live map would be better as each cars different.

Im torn what to do now.

i use the car daily and do a fair few trackdays. I don't want to exagerate the flatspot just for the sake of some weight saving and added noise?!

Is it much more noticable with a cat back and a remap?

Thanks for all the help.

I had a standard system with the centre silencer take out and the flat spot was a bit of a pain but I drove like it for 8 months. I've just put on the k-tech cat back with the decat and the flat spot is much better. I don't think putting the milltek on will ruin your driving experience.

That's the flatspot.

theres another thread about this at the minute and it been proven on one or two cars that the flatspot is caused by lack of sealing on the MAP sensor.

It's cured my flatspot 100%!

you just tried it or you already done it? you may have to wait a few hundred miles in case the ecu adapts
