Great video, very informative and no waffling on for 20 minutes like some other people! Thanks

[@scottfraser.wildlife]

That is sick, i recently got a miltek cat back system on my mk7.5 1.0 ecoboost and i love the 3 cylinder sound 👌

Great video again mate them drone shots were very well done. I'm not happy with you though my bank balance is taking a bit of a hit at the moment, first light bulbs and this will be my next purchase.

[@marti9]

Have any issues with the valve closed? Like cruise control on and exhaust sounds like its flutterin stuttering only when valves closed at gentle steady throttle

[@obsesseddetailer5416]

when do you have your trunk lid properly aligned? the gap on the left is huge.

[@santo3001]

this video is quite ''old'' but still hope for a response. is this exhaaust resonated or not? and if there is a big diffrence between that

[@cyclemartin4073]

Why Miltek ? I had a miltek before on a mk5 2.0 ST I didn’t like it or the fitment.

[@dimitrispapadimitrioy1775]

I also put it in and it's missing..maybe the connections need a plug?

[@anthonybrotherton3212]

Hey, had my exhaust fitted by a milltek dealer garage. Love the exhaust and its tone. Just wondered if you experienced any sort of rumbling type vibration from the rear of the car after fitted? I get this when I'm at cruising in comfort mode at speeds at around 60 / 70mph and around 2200revs. Not present in sorts mode. So leads me to think it comes on when the cylinder deactivation kicks in. Probs Need to get something like powerflex hangers. It's not a huge issue. Just curious 😅

[@JBCTR]

That's the cylinder deactivation. It's more noticeable with the exhaust.

[@Miguel-mv5yc]

Was there any weight reduction in the process? Are you planning on removing the GPF?

[@JBCTR]

Don't think there was much of a weight reduction, and no I'm hoping to leave it in place if I can! I'm intrigued as to whether or not exhaust manufacturers can develop a 'sports GPF' or similar :)

[@Philzifyy]

Did you cash this thing out or you on a finance plan? If on a finance plan how do these upgrades effect things like the GMFV or warranty

[@JBCTR]

Philz 11 months late to respond. My bad. The car is mine, so fortunately I don’t need to worry about GMFV. Warranty is impacted, but you are replacing the item impacted with Milltek, which has its own warranty 👍🏼

[@tomr6724]

Hi! Is it normal that in sport/track mode the valve closes while accelerating? And opens again when I release the gas pedal.

[@JBCTR]

Not sure exactly when it opens and closes, but yes its normal.

[@lmfao8314]

Go on jonny

[@danbriault66]

Is your car on finance? If so how does your mods effect the finance? Do you have to put it all to standard if you hand it back or part ex?

[@JBCTR]

Dan Briault Hi mate, the car isn’t on finance 👍🏼

[@brandonbhavdass8165]

Does this exhaust mod void warranty on the mk8?

[@JBCTR]

Difficult question to answer. Officially yes, but you are voiding the warranty on the exhaust. However as the exhaust is replaced, you then get a Milltek warranty in its place.

[@ashb1502]

can you recall if you used the old rubber exhaust hanger mounts or used uprated ones?

[@JBCTR]

Just the normal ones are okay!

[@Mk2Mitch]

Wicked mate I work just round the corner from there! Are they gel plates, and if so where did you get them?

[@JBCTR]

Mk2 Mitch Yup - Demon Plates. Pricey but good quality :)

[@Mk2Mitch]

Wicked thanks, just checked it out and think I’m going to treat myself to a set, do they come with the British standard mark on the bottom right corner though?

[@JBCTR]

Mk2 Mitch yes mate, it’s there :)

[@Mk2Mitch]

Brilliant thanks for the info, been looking at quite a few sites but they don’t print the British standard on the plate, meaning it’s not legal/legit so thanks for clearing that up!

[@butcherkk]

Do you had any check engine ?? Beacause I've milltek too and some times will light up. And its only mod in my car.

[@JBCTR]

Nope, no check engine light. Check the connectivity to the valve module if you are getting CEL.

[@butcherkk]

@@JBCTR I check wires from the valve control motor. And was OK. Ford Servis think that is motor from the valve. But motor is fine always closes and opens. I dont know whats going on.

[@sammartindale905]

Great video, quick question would this exhaust fit a 2017 st 200?

[@JBCTR]

Hi, no this wouldn't fit the MK7.

[@robyL92]

hello, I have the exact same exhaust, but since I mounted the car when it stopped crackling in sport / race mode, did you happen to have to remap?

[@JBCTR]

That's strange, you don't need a remap. Check the connection to the module on the valve - seems to be a common culprit for faults after changing the exhaust.

[@tomr6724]

Sei riuscito a sistemare?

[@robyL92]

@@tomr6724 ciao, si, era una questione di temperatura esterna faceva troppo freddo e quindi non riusciva a scaldarsi sufficientemente lo scarico! 👍

[@tomr6724]

Any performance boost with the milltek? 💪

[@JBCTR]

Possibly with it being free-er flowing. But probably nothing noticeable. This car made very strong figures on the dyno (there are videos of it on the channel :))

[@saucyyt4503]

Is it possible to change the exhaust when on PCP?

[@JBCTR]

It's a bit of a grey area. Many people do but it's technically against the terms of most contracts. Check yours to be sure!

[@stephenheyes1487]

Hi Fella, yeah I can see what you mean about the exhaust, when went to get your back section fitted did they give you any idea when the full exhaust system will be available?

[@JBCTR]

Stephen Heyes Hi there! I didn’t ask and they gave no indication. I’m not sure if the GPF will make life difficult for them or not. Presumably it can’t just be removed for MOT reasons. Either way, you’ll need a map for a full exhaust as development for ‘stage 1’ hasn’t really been completed yet. Gonna be a good few months before we see a ‘stage 2’ tune, exhaust and intercooler released I think!

[@stephenheyes1487]

@@JBCTR Cheers fella did they give you any HP power numbers? I was thinking 230hp should be possible, I know the 1.0 can be tuned to 177hp

[@JBCTR]

Stephen Heyes Nope nothing. It’s all under wraps for the moment I think! Although I reckon 230 is probably a push for just a map. We shall see 😬

[@adrianconesa2704]

Can it be fitted in a stock vignale mk8?

[@JBCTR]

Adrian conesa This wont fit a vignale as it has the 1.0 engine. I believe there is a Milltek available for the 1.0, but you may need to change the diffuser.

[@H8XME]

Aren’t the standard exhausts made by magnaflow?

[@JBCTR]

Daniel Ford H I don’t believe so... there’s no branding on it other than FoMoCo.

[@Luke.Derrick38]

Can someone help me out? Why is it that a system like that pops and bangs with no harm to the cat yet a pop and bang map so say destroys the cat as I've read on forums?

[@xCoDxPr0x]

That isn’t pops and bangs, it’s more like a crackle over run like jbs do

[@CouchMan88]

On my 16 fiesta st i have the cobb stage 2. Still have the cat but straight piped the muffler and resonator. Sounds as good or better than any exhaust system, cost less than $100 and it pops and bangs pretty good on downshift especially or when hard on the throttle.

[@Torque_Motor]

Sounds very nice, Unfortunately we won't be having the Fiesta St in South Africa

[@JBCTR]

katlego makhubedu Amazed to hear so many counties that used to get the MK7 are not getting the MK8 as I was under the impression this car was for a more global market!

[@robray7106]

Us either in the US.😥😕😟🤬

[@stevenhearnden6103]

Does this void the warranty?

[@JBCTR]

Steven Hearnden It isn’t warranty friendly. However you do get a Milltek warranty on the exhaust and a GPF back is very unlikely to be the cause of any issues upstream and therefore manufacturer warranty should remain in tact for the rest of the vehicle, unless they can prove the exhaust caused a fault. Slight risk, but it’s minimal IMO.

[@stevenjacobs270]

i want this too on mine

[@bernardlatuner5134]

The new Fiesta Exhaust sounds pretty good. Why changing it to have quite the same as the original ?... Thank's.

[@JBCTR]

bernard latuner I wanted more and the Milltek delivered. The ST sounds great from factory, but even better with a Milltek 😎

[@bernardlatuner5134]

OK, it's your taste ! :-)

[@dragonrevel6953]

I dont understand you lol 1. Changing the exhaust on a brand new car. For zero performance gain. 2. Sounds like the original just louder ? if you can buy a new ST + waste money on a exhaust why not buy a a more expensive car like Golf R or i30N, Cupra? A step up from Fiesta ?

[@splift23]

less priced car = more money for mods

[@ilpatongi]

@@dragonrevel6953So, tell me how spending 800 euros on a different exhaust on a 25.000 euros car is the same as spending 40.000 euros on a complete, different car. I really don't understand the math here

[@JBCTR]

Giorgos Tsiaras I’ll paste my answer from another comment :) It isn’t warranty friendly.

[@thomasgammelby9309]

Nice vid. Look forward to the A\B comparison. Went for the polo but always good to see what’s going on with the competition. Since Milltek have one for the ST I figure they are also working on one for the GTI. Awaiting bolt on mods for the new 2018 hot hatches.... BMS are almost ready with a JB4 for The Polo GTI (All...EA888 Gen 3B cars) Getting 231 WHp out of it. Somewhere close to 265 hp at crank guesstimating a 15% loss to the wheels.. Will be interesting to see what mountune can get out of the 1.5 3cyl. :)

[@JBCTR]

Thomas Gammelby The sounds check videos are up already :D the Milltek sounds awesome. Good news on the GTI - that’s quite an improvement!

[@thomasgammelby9309]

Went on your channel afterwards, didn’t notice the upload date 🙃 Yeah can't complain about the potential of the engine, It will need it to compete with the fiesta on track, it Lost by over 2 sec on nurburgring gp sprint circuit. More track focused tires and the LSD gave the fiesta an edge.. Think a wavetrac diff would help the polo a lot too.. The Fiesta seems the more complete track car out of the box.

[@ScottPC]

Miltek are getting worse and worse.. custom all the way!

[@GrahamReid34]

Miltek is so overpriced and the quality is awful, not sure how it aids flow right enough. I'm stumped at that

[@cyclemartin4073]

Graham Reid Yeah miltek are Sh💩T ! I don’t believe an Aftermarket Exhaust actually does anything for performance I think it’s a placebo effect from the noise , if anything you could loose a little bit of performance , Or it Moves the powerband around so yes it Might give a few extra bhp if your Lucky but it’s all at the Top end and you lose a Bit Low/Mid Rpm Grunt. Just to gain a Few bhp . I don’t think on its own it’s worth bothering with.

[@3TimesFaster]

JP Performance actually tested a Fiesta ST with the Miltek exhaust on a dyno. With the Miltek you actually lose some hp and nm lol.

[@nimal1153]

Wow. Can't even install a exhaust system your self. Lol

[@ilpatongi]

And?

[@fastfez2520]

No downpipe install. Awesome so youve spent all that money for no extra performance just some noise. Downpipe being oem, is still restrictive so it doesnt matter how free flowing the rest of the system is.

[@dragonrevel6953]

I just dont understand why you would change the exhaust on a brand new car? It just silly..

[@dragonrevel6953]

excatly i have ordered this car ST2 and i would never change the exhaust i think it sounds good as it is stock.

[@avrilcadabra]

Lets disregard the sound. The fiesta is built on a budget the standard exhaust is made from pretty average steel. If you are intending to sell the car before it runs out of warranty then sure keeping the lower quality one does not matter. Ford themselves will get rid of these exhausts on the higher up performance models coming. Milltek makes exhausts for Mountune. if you want to upgrade the car then it's a must.

[@thegreatalta]

What higher up performance models? They wont make an RS or a special. The car is not selling as the old one did unfortunately

[@thegreatalta]

@Adam Gordon This won't change either. Look at Aston DB or R8 price when they came out compared to now, they have doubled in price, so in reflection it's not that bad, but you're right most of ain't got that cash level...

[@liamrudimclaughlin97]

@Adam Gordon performance exhausts like a miltek are fitted to improve the flow, the added sound is just an extra. Chavs fit cheap shite exhausts to their cars
