Custom exhaust or Milltek?

[gary87]

Non resonated. Any resonated one I have heard/been in sounds like a standard car.

Resonated or non-resonated milltek?

youtube time non res usually drone on motorway

 

[veedubnoodle]

I had a non-res on my A3 and it wasn't overly loud. Actually loved the noise of it, quiet most of the time but sounded great when you gave it some welly!

I'd like a wee bit more than standard but not something that will annoy the neighbours or give me a headache on the very odd time it does get a longer run out. Will do some youtubing tonight and see. Some say the non-resonated is spot on with the standard cat and manifold.

I've a turbo back non res milltek on the Leon and I hate loud exhausts.
Its hardly noticeable on warm idle, barely louder than a neighbours standard MK6 Golf R.
It is a bit louder on cold start in the mornings and some noise at motorway speeds but not to the extent where you couldn't have a normal conversation with the passengers.
It's a loud ******* on boost though, but then I don't mind that.

I find it so hard to justify the likes of Milltek when there are so many decent aftermarket makers now. Personally I love Cobra Sport, though Dee's did make a decent cat back for my old Cupra too.

Funny enough I heard a rover ZT V8 with a cobra exahust recently and it was immense!

Check Euro Car Parts - £950ish new at the minute for a milltek

That's for the non valved version, I'd rather have the option

Yes the valved version tends to be a good bit more expensive. Funnily enough a colleague was asking me about those earlier lol

 

[Chris Mac]

Was it Richard? The valved one does seem to be more expensive, yet you still have to use the standard valves and install them into the Milltek.

I had a resonated Milltek on my R53. Sounds standard ish on tick over but nice when opened up. No drone at motorway speeds either.

 

[zafturbo]

Just put a non res milltek on my s4 .Fair bit louder on tick over and totally makes the car when giving it loads.Has a bit of noise at 50/60 but not totally annoying to me,the other half says it's just downright childish and I'm a di@k,

 

[pablo]

sounds like you made a poor choice and need to replace it mate

Avoid custom and source either miltek or jcw. If your looking for last ounce of bhp go jcw

 

[Markon]

I waited around 2 months hoping to find a used milltek catback for mine. Ended up just buying a new non res one which im getting fitted on friday finally

 

[Wild Thing]

I had seriously thought about stocking miltek systems but when you are looking to chuck money at them and they wont even answer simple emails about waranty, lead times etc I just lost interest, if thats the way miltek roll I can do without them. Good reviews on Janspeed headers with sportcat mated to a jcw system

 

[Richy]

Isn't a mini exhaust just a straight pipe anyway?

InIn fairness once a dealer they have a great system and support

Yeah it was. He sits opposite me

Yeah the valved ones seem to be a more intricate design to allow you to use the standard valves if you want to keep it really quiet when just cruising about like standard.

Are you any good at making VAT disappear from Millteks??!

 

[Coog]

After an evening on youtube, decided I'll go for non-resonated

It's not as if the car is particularly user friendly anyway so might as well just go for it.

Sorry buddy but I can't
