After getting the car through its MOT a couple of 'advisory' comments were made about the exhaust, so it prompted me to start thinking about a replacement.....

So have been musing over the last couple of weeks on what exhaust to change to.......hmmm

Have been mostly considering the Milltek, but was wondering if anyone could offer any other thoughts/ideas??

For example what is the MTK? Is is a Milltek in disguise, or a cheaper version as that's what the prices seem to suggest?

Miltek or JCW... Plenty of these popup in the various classified ads. Never buy a copy of an existing exhaust as they won't last and you'll end up having to fork out again for something else.

Can't praise the Playmini enough to be honest. There is loads to choose from and many have their own preferences but the Playmini sounds good, looks and feels well made and after 3 years, it's shown up no issues at all.

Best bit of advice is to get onto You Tube and see what you think sounds best, there's loads of clips on there.

janny+milltek-cat= massive win ,the math is simples

milltek + janspeed mani sounds great mate, a well tried and tested combo for the r53, watch out for broken welds on the back boxes if you buy second hand though mate common fault on the milltek

buy new as you get a lifetime warranty i was told by AMD
