|  Are aftermarket exhausts worth it??????? I'm still awaiting delivery of my new vRS Octavia (petrol) and have been looking at aftermarket exhausts (mainly Milltek) What are peoples experiences of these? Are they worth £400+? Is my money better spent elsewhere? Many thanks in advance. |

| Re: Are aftermarket exhausts worth it??????? Depends on what your after really. A remap will give you more power per ££ but ive got a Milltek on mine my vRS (MK1) and worth every penny IMO

| Re: Are aftermarket exhausts worth it??????? New exhausts are worth it if you're planing to get more then 250bhp in the end. Below that a simple remap, and maby another air filter, is all you need. However, the sound can be woth every penny.

| Re: Are aftermarket exhausts worth it??????? Can also be an investment if you're keeping the car a long time as stainless steel exhausts tend to be guaranteed for the life of the vehicle (or 25 years!  ) so you won't be shelling out for new exhaust bits every few years due to rusting.Chris
