Milltek Fiesta 1.0T EcoBoost performance exhaust system
With the launch of its highly entertaining EcoBoost Fiesta, Ford has revolutionised the hot-hatch market. Able to deliver impressive power outputs from its tiny displacement motor, the Fiesta, in either its 100 or 125 PS guises, is an absolute hoot – and the perfect basis for tuning.
Working with the UK’s leading Ford tuners Milltek has created a comprehensive range of exhaust upgrades for the car that offer not only enhanced aesthetics, but also considerable power gains, too. For a one litre engine, that little Fiesta can be transformed into a veritable flying machine!
An entire system solution has been created, staring with a large-bore downpipe and using a competition quality HJS sports catalyst. This allows for considerable performance gains, without sacrificing legality. Due to the vast improvement of this part over its OE equivalent, this component is best fitted in conjunction with a quality aftermarket software upgrade, in order to extract the maximum gains. The system diameter has been carefully optimised at 2.37-inch (60.30mm) and the every part is made from the finest grade of non-magnetic stainless steel.
Both turbo and cat-back options are then available, with either resonated or non-resonated centre section options to allow owners to personalise the sound of their car to their own requirements. Want smooth, sporty refinement? Go for the resonated section. Want something a little more purposeful? The non-res section will doubtless give your daily commute that little extra aural drama.
Milltek’s designers have cleverly scanned the Ford parts catalogue in order to find an ‘OEM+’ solution to the problem of how to satisfactorily mount the new tailpipes without it looking like an after-thought. Their neat solution is to make it perfectly fit the factory Fiesta Zetec S rear valance (part number 1833264) which is available from your local Ford dealer at very sensible money. The end result is something that looks like a factory upgrade – very much the Milltek way. Filling these holes are a brace of smart ‘GT80’ trims, which really complement the Fiesta’s dramatic lines and look very much at home in the rear bumper.
In all cases, each part is hand-finished in Milltek’s Derbyshire factory, using the very latest CNC bending techniques to ensure perfect fit and flow.
Prices start at £498.41 including VAT for the cat-back, non-resonated system.
