UK I have V6 with Scorpion Resonated cat-back system and very happy with it. The Video sounds right just the right amount of noise and not too much in the Cabin of my Roadster.
The v6 certainly has a turn heads sound, I don’t many car guys who don’t know what engine it is without looking at the car when they hear it 😊 Your right it’s a nice balance of decent sound enhancement without drone/ cabin noise
I may only be discovering this video .....3 years later 🤦🏻🤣!! Literally about to get a custom exhaust made , great to hear the tones , as always , on point Dom 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
RUclips was crying out for someone to make this video! The days of watching low-quality 30 second long, TT exhaust videos with no information are over 🙌🏻! The right man for the job has delivered once again. Cracking vid Dom👍🏻 UK
Thanks man really appreciate the comment. Spent hours trying to get this video dialled In right. Glad it’s payed off! Will get a better one when we are all allowed out and about
@@TheParrottBros Nice one man. Looking forward to it! I’ll send a clip of my 225 in as soon as the downpipe and decat is done. It’s a milltek cat back system at the moment.
That Toyosport was surprisingly good, hard to choose between that or a simple backbox delete as my favourite. Will be the next mod for my TT once fund allow. Great video as always mate, really appreciate these
Thanks for the channel love man appreciate it, yeah it’s a nice sounding exhaust for sure. The backbox delete is a fave of mine too as it’s cheap and cheerful. I have a backbox delete on the s4 and love it
Been thinking about straight piping for ages but after watching this, I think I will stick with my Miltek for the time being. Great video as always man, Uk
good stuff that is what I looked for, I am on the way buy Gravity Performance so that video very help me make decision to my project TT, exhaust is discounted now from £299 to £245 on ebay. Thanks mate.
I had a scorpion non res sports cat on my golf 20vt it was awesome sounding when I was 10year younger so got the resonated scorpion on my tt now great info as usual on your channel
*Update* After 3 years, I finally changed my exhaust. Bought the gravity performance exhaust centre section ( 2.5" was slightly modified to fit the car, because isn't a direct fit) changing to 3" into a y pipe going to 2 HKS small back boxes with 3.5" tips and sounds like a completely different car. Never eard a TT like this before. Did I cook something 😅?
Really pleasantly surprised with some of the choices. I had a 1.8t Leon with a turboback toyo/powerflow system that sounded epic at full chat but would drive you to the edge of reason on a long run. As you said for the money it looks like there is little to no downside to the cheaper systems apart from some fitment issues if lowered. You can't have it all though. Convinced with the Malian and the Gravity Performance clips. Gonna go ahead and buy myself one for my 225 TT now that I know it doeant sound like a bag of nails. UK
At least you are looking at it realistically, the cheaper ones are slightly more clunky when fitted especially where they go under the rear axle. But you get a brand-new exhaust system for the price of a secondhand better brand one
I have a 1.8T Seat Toledo with a catback by "Don Silencioso" a very popular spanish brand, top stuff (pricey too), there is a video in youtube showing off a 180 Audi TT with a Don Silencioso catback that sounds exactly like my setup. Logical as its the same exhaust and engine. The sound is also very close to that shown in this video at 9:46 by "Toyosport". I am getting a downpipe with sports cat as I am very happy with these spanish guys.
I was defo late on this channel but i watched a few of your videos now for TT information and ordered a few part with your links. Just wanted to say i love your content 👍🏽
Yeah definitely get saving haha. If your going turbo back might be worth getting a custom one as will probably work out cheaper in long run and they fit it ;)
Scorpion V6 resonated is the best sounding one by a long way, but quite impressed by the rear box deletes. No idea how loud they are relatively to stock though?
The scorpion res for the v6 is the most popular option when you look on forums amongst owners. Yeah for bang for buck, it’s a nice cheap way to get some sound
Wow thanks for actually having a good microphone set up right! Also thank you for finding videos of quality sound clips. Am looking into getting a tt project car so it helps getting a feel of the sound.
So far my favorite is, the V6 scorpion resonated. I'm so excited. I'm getting two new precious MK1's. One with much lower miles MK 2002 roadster manual 1.8. we missed the Quattro roadster that my husband and I have wanted, by one week. He wanted to get a new er Audi. My heart is true. Our 2002 is already a classic and we're getting another one. Better mileage. Although ours had one owner, garage kept. And I've only put a few 100 miles on it. She's well taken care of. Make sure I start her up and move her around. But that blue bell, is being replaced. Oh goodness two convertibles. Don't worry one's up for sale soon. And we found a mint condition, 42k miles, 2005 3.2 V6 quattro auto 6 speed. Seems we can't find a single one with a manual transmission. The only place we can find it is across the pond. That'll have to be in the next few years.... I actually taught my husband about this car. And I can't wait to drive this one. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. God love my hubs. My health hasn't been so well. And I think my husband, wants to give me my dreams. Brought tears to my eyes today. Quite embarrassing to be crying while buying a car, at the bank. But my bank lady understands. She's looking for a mustang. Which I turned her on to a few really awesome websites and blogs. I definitely don't want to be the snappy puppy princess on the block. I'm too old for that. I'm close to 50 than I am 40. Hahaha I don't mind a little snap I don't mind a little crackle but no pop. Hahahaha 😆 heck I don't even drink pop. Have no use for it. You have helped me out so much. Really awesome channel. I should have known I sent my husband one of your videos and he's like oh I'm subscribed to him. Awww. He and I send each other videos, that we don't know the other one has already seen. He kept congratulating me today. And I know deep down inside he's so excited to come home and drive his cars. Even though he says there for me. Who is he kidding? He's the one that works hard for them. Oh how grateful I am. I can't wait until spring!!! Vroom vroom.
What a lovely story! This is why I love cars and how they bring everyone together. It’s nice that you can both enjoy owning and driving such wonderful cars. Wow 42k miles that must be gorgeous! Over here you see very few with such low mileage. I’m England out of 10 v6 Tt’s 9 will be dsg, 1 will be manual so they are still no easy to come by here. A convertible is the only one I haven’t had, although unsurprising as I’m England we barely have 2 consecutive days of sunshine so probably not worth it. Plus could you imagine my beard in the wind 😂 Feel free to send me some pics of your beauTTys, would love to see them. My email is in the video description.
I wish I knew we could submit our setups, I could've sent you clips of my fully custom exhaust with cutout flaps and a sidepipe. It's one of the few TT's that is proper both straightpipe and sidepipe.
@@TheParrottBros I have a 180 mk1 tt roadster. I want something loud but not bad sounding (straight pipe) what do you recommend? I really want pops and bangs too would any exhaust do that or a tune?
Very interesting and informative video, still not sure which one I like the most, however living in vancouver Canada I’m a little restricted as to what’s available.. really enjoying your videos on here, and I’ll send you some pics and vids when my project is complete
@@TheParrottBros yes there are rare , not many here at all, and I was extremely lucky to find this one . They are that uncommon, that I’ve actually had Canadians come up to me and ask what car it is .. even though it has the Audi rings and says TT .. LOL The car has several modifications already, and I’ve decided to do more. S/steel Milltek exhaust/ 3” down pipe ,short shift , KW V3 Coilovers, Dyno testing and tuning, lots of carbon bits , arm rest (which was actually very easy to get from the USA) .. I’ll send you some pics and vids of before and after. Thank you again.. for you’re videos They have inspired me
A six pot will always sound better than a 4, and so will benefit more from some exhaust system tweekery. Never heard a bad VR6 but have heard many shockingly bad 4 pots. Loud is not always best, especially with a 1.8t. Cracking video, Dom. More power to you, Sir! :-)
Yeah for sure, the only bad sounding v6 is a quiet one 😂. Thought it was about time there was a decent sound video with labelled up variants to give others a good idea of what’s about 🤙🏻
@@TheParrottBros Sadly, the VR6's only redeeming feature is the sound. Otherwise, it's a nose heavy thirsty bugger, made even more wayward by another 20kgs of DSG dragging the nose wide at every roundabout. I really would only recommend a VR6 if you find one with a manual 'box. DSG was groundbreaking but fragile, which is why it wasn't fitted to the QS. You have been warned, my friend. ;-)
The sound makes you Almost blind to everything else. When I test drove one that was a bad example I still had a grin ear to ear because it sounded lovely and the power delivery felt great. Managed to see sense and not but it though haha I shall look more towards manual when I do start looking again. Warning taken
Great Vid! I’m a new view and sub as I got my self a Audi TT love the context btw. I’ve been trying to decide on a exhaust and I think the Milltek non resonated is the one for me 💙
Great sounds! I did a backbox delete myself! I do have a question though... non exhaust sound related. What is hanging from the elbow of your microphone boom? It looks like a set of Canadian military dog tags
Hey buddy, the backbox delete is a simple and effective mod probably best bang for buck sound upgrade. The hanging item in question is a oil scent pot, stops the studio / spare room smelling of blokes after I’ve spent hours on end in there 😅
I wouldn't be surprised if those with custom / back box deletes on the V6 suffer the dreaded 2k drone. Had the valve blocked on mine and ruined the scorpion resonated cat back. Now bung removed it's gorgeous
The biggest power increase is in the 3” down pipe / sports cat/decat as that’s the biggest restriction. After that there probably isn’t much in it. The Jetex not shown in this video according to rtech tuning company actually choke the performance
@@dannypallister586 I met my first random subscriber the other night at work, we got chatting and he is like I recognise you, later in night I got into cars and he was like that’s it your that RUclips guy 😂. Can’t wait got show season 😂😂
Mines got a full stainless sports cat back and sounds great and looks shiny just a add looks slightly bigger than stock but I'm.no mechanic sounds good tho
Great video, very in depth, I've currently got a Resonated Scorpion on my 225 but im thinking of getting a 3 inch downpipe and sports cat to go with it. Will it start making some pops and crackles without needing a map? Id like a couple pops and crackles but preferably without having them mapped in as I already have a Revo stage 1 id like to keep.
@@TheParrottBros yeh I thought so. I had a decat on my focus st225 and that was making gun shots without a remap haha. The clip of yours sounds nice couple of crackles that's all I'd be after really. Just a little bit more noise as these TT are very quiete and even with a cat back they still sounds too smooth and not very grunty without having the downpipe and sports cat/decat. All I hear from mine is the induction with the pro ram filter
@@spakkawasp4680 Yeah your right the induction does somewhat over power most exhausts haha Im going to be either adding a box or swapping out my exhaust as its too loud for track haha
That & if it’s a Dsg now they are older it’s 2 big bills that could loom above you. But then every car has its problems haha. The v6 does sound 👌🏻 though doesn’t it
I have decat into miltek.. sounds nice but I don't get that crackle others seem to get. Also why is it when everybody gets a straight 'shh' from the turbo where mine does a kind flutter noise 'shh shh shh shh' ?
The crackles could be mapped based, the flutter noise could be a boost issue, diverter valve letting by a little , turbo surge, any many other things. Does it Have a stock diverter valve?
@@yammy1000 pipewerx is better quality that Malian but that’s reflected in the price. I may have a used pipe werx 3” down pipe and sports cat for sale in a couple weeks
@TheParrottBros thanks for that. I was swaying towards the Pipewerx thinking it would be a better quality & fitment. Unfortunately I need it yesterday as the car is booked for an alignment at the end of the week, otherwise it have taken your offer. 👍
A map is about the only way you will get true pops and bangs. Even a decat will give you mild burble etc. The map is the only real way to get it popping and banging
Hey man... I've been going back and forth about getting a full system exhaust for my TT TDI S-Line 2013 for some time. My only thought being that it might not actually sound that great with it being a diesel.... do you have any thoughts or experience on this and if it's worth it? Cheers!
Hey 😊 Diesels with exhausts sound really throaty, with a whistle if they are quite boosting ( mapped) I like them but they don’t have the same burble a petrol turbo has
@TheParrottBros Hey, love the straight pipe sound is there any chance you have the original video/link to the last sample ( 2:00 )? I would love to have simular sound on my Audi s3 8l BAM. Thank you.
@@TheParrottBros Oh ok, do you think that the car is stock? It might have some software changes because some straight piped 1.8t dont shoot so much. This one sounds so deep and burply. How do i make my s3 this loud and deep sounding(i dont like the whistling noise). Thanks.
Great video, I have a 3.2 and have seen a Cybox option (used to be Peco exhausts), question if anyone can help.... The Cybox does away with the horizontal back box in favour of two separate small incline back boxes. Anyone know if this will deepen the v6 sound or make it a bit too raspy? It would be cat back and resonated. The closest match on the video is the DKU engineering but this is on a turbo I think? Cheers fir any help!
Hey Marc, if you do a bit of Googling I believe I saw a video on either google or fb of that. Looks and sounded nice, the only real difference is favouring flow so offers less restriction
@@TheParrottBros Yes,USA, my TT is a 225, Revo Stage 2 tune, CTS FMIC,CTS cat, back, 3"down pipe no cats,and the Sound is ok, cold start not to loud. Will send you a video of it, not to tech savy I will try to do my best... Like your channel a lot, I've been following you and also BWSTT. That guy is very knowledgeable, learn a lot from him...anyways good luck and keep putting more videos.
Thanks man, had a feeling as I’ve got a cts intake on my s4 and that’s American sourced. Sounds nice man, Bryn is a top block and isn’t much if anything he doesn’t know about tt’s. Between the two of us we try and cover it all
@@TheParrottBros so you think UK exhaust wont directly fit as its right hand side? My car is left hand side and I'm thinking to get scorpio exhaust system with the downpipe
@@HEMOxJEDDAH it probably will fit I meant you might struggle to get one that’s all. Just confirm with them before ordering as left hand drives may differ slightly
Alright. Headphones are on, let's go. Big thanks to anyone sending them clips and you mate, for putting the effort with this vid.
Thanks man, glad it’s being enjoyed. Forgot to say surround sound or headphones would help 😎

Love the sound of the V6's but for us four cylinder owners I would have the 225 Scorpion resonated with sports cat. Keep up the good work. UK
Thanks for the comment and channel support, yeah the scorpion does have a lovely sound but nothing compares to that v6 goodness
Good luck to everyone taking part in the competition, we wish you all the best and we hope the winner enjoys the sexy carbon addition to their car!

Loved the audio around 4:00, could have been outside my house with the Velux window open, quite normal at 2am.
Great video, the scorpion in the 225 is tasty! Better than our gravity for sure.
Putting saved searches on eBay for when a second hand one comes up 😂
Great video !
Scorpion resonated is great on my MK1 3.2 , best sound in your video I think 😬
It’s certainly up there on my favourite, probably the most popular v6 option if you look online
UK
So much choice, watching this has made it harder to decide!
Haha sorry not sorry 😊 at least you can
Make a choice knowing what it’s going to sound like now
Miltek Non Res sounds the best to me, for the 1.8T engines. It sounds so responsive.
That is a really popular choice. The res isn’t much louder over stock and if your after an exhaust for noise then the non res is a solid choice
Been thinking about straight piping for ages but after watching this, I think I will stick with my Miltek for the time being. Great video as always man, Uk
Yeah it’s not as smooth as you think, & good luck
Very nice Dom ! On Saturday I will ditch my cat back (already decat) for a custom s/s system. I will upload video
Brilliant man & thanks for the comment 👌🏻
good stuff that is what I looked for, I am on the way buy Gravity Performance so that video very help me make decision to my project TT, exhaust is discounted now from £299 to £245 on ebay. Thanks mate.

Minor details 😂. We’re you doing some top speed runs?
Not at that time 😂...
Uk
As always best content for us tt lovers love the sound of them back box deletes
Thanks man means a lot, it’s not a bad sound considering it’s one of the cheapest options
so glad i found this after i bought my borla exhaust in the US still a good sound
It’s a shame we can’t get the borla in the uk easily
Not many people have heard of them I don't think but rm exhausts from Poland make the best sound I think. You can even open and close the valves on it
Really pleasantly surprised with some of the choices. I had a 1.8t Leon with a turboback toyo/powerflow system that sounded epic at full chat but would drive you to the edge of reason on a long run.

Plenty of options about, easy to change if not ;)
Best exhaust sound is in the intro!
Haha that’s a 1998 B5 S4 Bi turbo
Another cracking video, nice to be able to hear all the exhausts I’ve been looking at, but thinking I might start with rear box delete, sounded nice
I Did on mine 3" down pipe, straight pipe and left the original muffler for a while and it sounds really good.
Thanks buddy, yeah it’s a nice cheap option and worst case if you do it right you can always put stock back on again

5V has a place...flow bench figures and chamber swirl is key.
: )
So many good exhausts making the decision difficult 😂 UK
That’s the hardest part
I have a gravity with 3” down pipe and decat and I’m impressed with it
For the money it’s almost unrivalled, you certainly get a lot for your money
Which downpipe did you fit? Have you ever had it noise tested?
@@MotorMonkeyz toyosports but I have a 180 though
UK
Going to put a powerflow 3" on my 225 with decat and a pipeworx downpipe.mapped with overrun.and give guy fawkes a run for his money 💣💥🎷😆
😂😂😂
some great sounds UK
Iv just fitted my gravity exhaust to my 180
Enjoying it?
Informative, as always. Great Vids. UK.
Thanks appreciate it
UK
love the channel dude
Thanks buddy and good luck
A six pot will always sound better than a 4, and so will benefit more from some exhaust system tweekery. Never heard a bad VR6 but have heard many shockingly bad 4 pots. Loud is not always best, especially with a 1.8t. Cracking video, Dom. More power to you, Sir! :-)
Yeah for sure, the only bad sounding v6 is a quiet one 😂. Thought it was about time there was a decent sound video with labelled up variants to give others a good idea of what’s about 🤙🏻
@@TheParrottBros Sadly, the VR6's only redeeming feature is the sound. Otherwise, it's a nose heavy thirsty bugger, made even more wayward by another 20kgs of DSG dragging the nose wide at every roundabout. I really would only recommend a VR6 if you find one with a manual 'box. DSG was groundbreaking but fragile, which is why it wasn't fitted to the QS. You have been warned, my friend. ;-)
The sound makes you Almost blind to everything else. When I test drove one that was a bad example I still had a grin ear to ear because it sounded lovely and the power delivery felt great. Managed to see sense and not but it though haha I shall look more towards manual when I do start looking again. Warning taken
Great Vid! I’m a new view and sub as I got my self a Audi TT love the context btw. I’ve been trying to decide on a exhaust and I think the Milltek non resonated is the one for me 💙
Welcome aboard man, yeah the miltek non res sounds lovely 👌🏻
This is one cool video🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks buddy 🤙🏻
Great sounds! I did a backbox delete myself! I do have a question though... non exhaust sound related. What is hanging from the elbow of your microphone boom? It looks like a set of Canadian military dog tags
Hey buddy, the backbox delete is a simple and effective mod probably best bang for buck sound upgrade. The hanging item in question is a oil scent pot, stops the studio / spare room smelling of blokes after I’ve spent hours on end in there 😅
UK
Good video again thanks
Thanks buddy and good luck
I wouldn't be surprised if those with custom / back box deletes on the V6 suffer the dreaded 2k drone.
Had the valve blocked on mine and ruined the scorpion resonated cat back. Now bung removed it's gorgeous
Good point buddy, I bet the straight pipe isn’t much better either 😂
I wonder if there is any real difference in terms of power output? I guess track specialists all use custom kit?
The biggest power increase is in the 3” down pipe / sports cat/decat as that’s the biggest restriction. After that there probably isn’t much in it. The Jetex not shown in this video according to rtech tuning company actually choke the performance
Uk
Definitely need to decat my exhaust for the scorpion sounds real nice lol
Lovely isn’t it, I feel like the internet isn’t ready for tt owners after watching this video 😂
Your going to make the TT more popular than it is lol i get a few younger generations liking my car and suprise them how quick a 225 can be
@@dannypallister586 I met my first random subscriber the other night at work, we got chatting and he is like I recognise you, later in night I got into cars and he was like that’s it your that RUclips guy 😂. Can’t wait got show season 😂😂
Cant wait for car show season, got my TT in 3 shows on stand so best get her looking pretty and sounding good before hand haha
UK
Picking up my 3.2 tomorrow
Ooo good luck, looking forward to seeing some pics. Very jealous as every one I’ve been to see is too expensive or no good
Mines got a full stainless sports cat back and sounds great and looks shiny just a add looks slightly bigger than stock but I'm.no mechanic sounds good tho
Thats all that matters, its amazing the difference a cat back can make isnt it
@@TheParrottBros I agree are you going to the tt meet next Saturday??
Great video, very in depth, I've currently got a Resonated Scorpion on my 225 but im thinking of getting a 3 inch downpipe and sports cat to go with it. Will it start making some pops and crackles without needing a map? Id like a couple pops and crackles but preferably without having them mapped in as I already have a Revo stage 1 id like to keep.
It’s possible but unlikely. Specially with a resonated exhaust buddy, usually it’s only when mapped or straight piped
@@TheParrottBros yeh I thought so. I had a decat on my focus st225 and that was making gun shots without a remap haha. The clip of yours sounds nice couple of crackles that's all I'd be after really. Just a little bit more noise as these TT are very quiete and even with a cat back they still sounds too smooth and not very grunty without having the downpipe and sports cat/decat. All I hear from mine is the induction with the pro ram filter
@@spakkawasp4680 Yeah your right the induction does somewhat over power most exhausts haha
Im going to be either adding a box or swapping out my exhaust as its too loud for track haha
UK
Another great vid keep it up Dom 👌
Thanks buddy appreciate it & good luck
I always thought a NA engine is better with no back box but a turbo engine needs back pressure and is better with a backbox and not a straight pipe
Great video as always. Dom.
UK
Thanks Ian and good luck 🤙🏻
Some cool exhausts there v6 sounds really nice but the chain maintenance prices to risky for me lol. Nice video dom
That & if it’s a Dsg now they are older it’s 2 big bills that could loom above you. But then every car has its problems haha. The v6 does sound 👌🏻 though doesn’t it
@The Parrott Bro’s yep has to be a manual. Manual I prefer so no dsg worries 👍
Has anyone any prices for the power flow system? I know they are custom made but let’s say cat back with no middle box for arguments sake.
It depends where you get it done, usually cat backs can be anything from 4-600£
Some cool sounding systems uk
Certainly is, makes choosing one even more difficult 😂
I have decat into miltek.. sounds nice but I don't get that crackle others seem to get.
Also why is it when everybody gets a straight 'shh' from the turbo where mine does a kind flutter noise 'shh shh shh shh' ?
The crackles could be mapped based, the flutter noise could be a boost issue, diverter valve letting by a little , turbo surge, any many other things. Does it
Have a stock diverter valve?
@@TheParrottBros brand new stock diverter valve
I would check the rest of the vac piping, if possible get a smoke or pressure test
Looking for a downpipe & sports cat. Which woukd be the better one to try & ensure a MOT pass? Malian or Pipewerx?
@@yammy1000 pipewerx is better quality that Malian but that’s reflected in the price. I may have a used pipe werx 3” down pipe and sports cat for sale in a couple weeks
@TheParrottBros thanks for that. I was swaying towards the Pipewerx thinking it would be a better quality & fitment. Unfortunately I need it yesterday as the car is booked for an alignment at the end of the week, otherwise it have taken your offer. 👍
Does anyone know the best way to get pops and bangs for relatively cheap on the 225? Anything will be massively appreciated
A map is about the only way you will get true pops and bangs. Even a decat will give you mild burble etc.
The map is the only real way to get it popping and banging
Hey man... I've been going back and forth about getting a full system exhaust for my TT TDI S-Line 2013 for some time.
My only thought being that it might not actually sound that great with it being a diesel.... do you have any thoughts or experience on this and if it's worth it? Cheers!
Hey 😊
Diesels with exhausts sound really throaty, with a whistle if they are quite boosting ( mapped)
I like them but they don’t have the same burble a petrol turbo has
good audio samples at 4:00
Thanks buddy
@TheParrottBros Hey, love the straight pipe sound is there any chance you have the original video/link to the last sample ( 2:00 )? I would love to have simular sound on my Audi s3 8l BAM. Thank you.
Just had a look and all I have is the video saved, it was such a long time ago the footage has been deleted I’m afraid
@@TheParrottBros Oh ok, do you think that the car is stock? It might have some software changes because some straight piped 1.8t dont shoot so much. This one sounds so deep and burply. How do i make my s3 this loud and deep sounding(i dont like the whistling noise). Thanks.
@@jajsemalexx6002 probably stock just straight piped with one small box
Great video, I have a 3.2 and have seen a Cybox option (used to be Peco exhausts), question if anyone can help.... The Cybox does away with the horizontal back box in favour of two separate small incline back boxes. Anyone know if this will deepen the v6 sound or make it a bit too raspy? It would be cat back and resonated. The closest match on the video is the DKU engineering but this is on a turbo I think? Cheers fir any help!
Hey Marc, if you do a bit of Googling I believe I saw a video on either google or fb of that. Looks and sounded nice, the only real difference is favouring flow so offers less restriction
I want something a bit loud, and so far I like the milltek non res but I don’t know if it’s the right choice. What you think ?
If you get a 3” downpipe (225) and want it loud I would get the non res. If a v6 the non res is 👌🏻👌🏻
UK
Missed the giveaway by a day smh UK lol
There is always next month 🤙🏻
I have the miltek non res on the s3 1.8t , sounds the same , its not that loud and there is no drone in the car.
I have the CTS one and is ok...
Not heard of this, what country, USA?
@@TheParrottBros
Yes,USA, my TT is a 225, Revo Stage 2 tune, CTS FMIC,CTS cat, back, 3"down pipe no cats,and the Sound is ok, cold start not to loud. Will send you a video of it, not to tech savy I will try to do my best...
Like your channel a lot, I've been following you and also BWSTT. That guy is very knowledgeable, learn a lot from him...anyways good luck and keep putting more videos.
Thanks man, had a feeling as I’ve got a cts intake on my s4 and that’s American sourced. Sounds nice man, Bryn is a top block and isn’t much if anything he doesn’t know about tt’s. Between the two of us we try and cover it all

@@TheParrottBros hahah was just rewatching and realised I hadn't left UK in my previous comment, us I genuinely want those covers!
I need the pipewerx dp and sports cat😭😭
Yes you do! haha
UK 👍
I wonder - is it possible to buy the Scorpio 225 exhaust if I'm located in the United States?
I'm not sure, believe scorpion is uk based only, your equivalent must be borla
@@TheParrottBros so you think UK exhaust wont directly fit as its right hand side? My car is left hand side and I'm thinking to get scorpio exhaust system with the downpipe
@@HEMOxJEDDAH it probably will fit I meant you might struggle to get one that’s all. Just confirm with them before ordering as left hand drives may differ slightly
Sum good sounds uk
There sure is & good luck
brill vid man
