Good lad! Though I feel for you when it comes to taxing it.

I have a full Miltek system on mine. Got the signature rasp that Milteks carry.

Yeah my road tax cost has pretty much doubled but that's the only increase in cost I've got over my ST200 so all in all not bad.

Looking at your exhaust I think the one on mine must be a Miltek, the exit pipes look identical and from other Miltek exhausts I've heard they do have a very distinctive sound on idle and when running.

I'll throw up a few pictures later on you'll probably be able to tell straight away but wow what a different beast from the St200..!

If it is a Miltek it will say on the exhaust tips.

But yeah get some pics thrown up

Fireblade2K4 · 22 Mar 2014 at 10:48

Ah ok I'll have a look then in a bit when I go to collect it and yeah I'll throw some pics up ASAP.

Nice one! How much did you pay?

Philz0r · 22 Mar 2014 at 17:45

given the choice would you buy miltek again rybo?

Rybo89 · 22 Mar 2014 at 18:43

For the ST yeah.

A Thank you to this thread, today I did the "screw bumper fix" on my blue ST220 and all looks great.

Owned the car a 57 plate for just over a year now and been very happy with it.

got my mechanic friend to do the screw fix. broke two or three of his drill bits in the process

Right finally with a bit of nice weather today I managed to get some photos done, only a few quick snaps whilst I was out but here she is

And I have to say I am absolutely loving this car, it is amazing...such a massive upgrade over my ST200.

Not normally a fan of black wheels, but that doesnt look too bad. What exhaust is that?

Fireblade2K4 · 29 Mar 2014 at 21:15

The wheels aren't actually black, they are anthracite, bit hard to see in the pictures, I'll see if I have another one that shows them off better.

As for the exhaust it was on it when I purchased it, as far as I can tell from the receipts its a custom full stainless cat back system and sounds brilliant.

Stu

Fireblade2K4 · 29 Mar 2014 at 21:16

This probably shows them off better.

Looks good!

Thanks, oh and the exhaust isn't a Miltek, its a custom jobby as far as I can tell, there aren't any markings on it that I can see, sounds like a Miltek though.

Stu

Rybo89 · 29 Mar 2014 at 23:03

Yup, noticed straight away that it was a custom jobby. All the top known brands have the rolled exhaust tip.

Need to give mine a clean soon.

Depends if you class the Blueflame and Mongoose systems as 'top known'. This one looks a lot like the Blueflame system.

Jester* · 30 Mar 2014 at 08:28

On the hunt for an ST220 at the moment. Such value in a car, need to replace the Mazda 6 I got in a short timeframe before Christmas.

Well I say need, I don't really need to. I just want more than 4 cyclinders and some toys.

No, not for Fords anyway

Though, i have read/heard a lot of good things about blueflame and their exhausts. Meant to be the quietest of the lot, nice deep grumble.

Found this:

- that car has a Milltek. I think I want one now...

That is my car. You can't really hear the exhaust like that in the car but it does sound ace from outside

Only use it for track so it has been off the road for 5 months. Started it yesterday and fired into life first time. Excellent. Changed the oil and did a little exhaust video.

ST220 is an interesting choice for a pure track car, how are these on track?
