When performance exhaust specialist Milltek was searching for a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32 to update its Classic range, the team was pleasantly surprised to discover that the selected car came with a 10-year-old original Milltek exhaust system in perfect condition.
All Milltek Classic exhausts come with a lifetime warranty, which is standard practice. Therefore, it was a welcome find to see the original system functioning excellently, just as intended when it was installed a decade earlier!
Milltek has enhanced its exhaust for the R32 to produce more of the “Wookie” noises, which characterize the distinctive sound of the car’s 3.2-litre VR6 engine.
The update features a new “V2” rear silencer, which is available as part of both Resonated and Non-Resonated systems. It is also compatible with existing systems, meaning anyone fortunate enough to have a Milltek exhaust on their R32 can benefit from the deeper tone and upgrade to this new design.
Another addition to this silencer is a brushed stainless steel finish. This is the first time Milltek has offered this finish, but it will be introduced for all systems moving forward.
The new Golf Mk4 R32 exhaust options are produced at Milltek Sport’s UK factory and are made from 304L “Aircraft” grade stainless steel. This ensures that enthusiasts purchasing a Milltek exhaust today can be confident it will last for the lifetime of the vehicle.
“We were delighted to see that our latest Milltek Classic development car came equipped with one of our own exhausts,” says Steve Pound, Managing Director of Milltek Sport. “It was in superb condition and could have continued to be used as is. However, we wanted to further enhance the wonderful sound that the R32 makes, and we’ve accomplished that by increasing those fabulous Wookie sounds while eliminating any droning.”
