Wasn't really stirring, just highlighting how ive been let down 3 times by Milltek who feature heavily in this thread, other peoples bad experiences struck a chord with me.
The Salt & Pepper thing came to me as an after thought and was meant in good humour. :happy2:

....Okay, sorry, no problem, mate :happy2:
Let's just put it down to me still feeling just a wee bit sensitive and angry over some of the recent stuff that was claimed by a few who should know better in another thread (now locked). I'll get over it [/end of] < All is well which ends well :grouphug:

It would be a mistake to get the Milltek without even hearing the APR!
Coz thats in another league! :laugh:
Think of it like this:
The Milltek exhaust in comparison to the APR exhaust, sound wise, is Leeds Utd. Languishing in the lower leagues.
The APR is like Manchester Utd, Champs League!
We both know that if they played each other, Man Utd would do an absolute JOB on Leeds!
LOL a worthwhile analogy i feel!

Dunno if I already posted it here or elsewhere but it's all down to individual taste - The bottom line is that sounds are energy vibrations which resonate positively or negatively with each of us. Furthermore, each of us has slightly different abilities to hear sound in its entire range.
I actually like all the sounds of APR, Blueflame, and Milltek (I haven't heard any others yet) - Personal taste and horses for courses. If I didn't have such a close and ongoing relationship with Milltek, then of course I'd be seriously considering the others.

Back on topic....I recently joined this forum with my Ed 30 and the first upgrade was a re map. I did a trackday recently on sticky rubber and upgraded pads....worked well considering stock suspension.
Next on the list is suspension This week I will be slipping down the slope by spending yet more dosh....KW Clubsports, APR FP map. Dependant on the dyno results I an considering the possiblity of an exhaust although I'd rather use the money for a big brake kit TBH. The Euro has ruined prices.
Back to my choice I wanted cruise control so opted for APR for this very reason and the ease of changing maps by touching a button. I like their OE engineering approach. I could of and would have chosen Revo or Superchips as I know they have a high reputation...all good products with good reputations.
I have spent a huge amount with APR in the past and know their products and engineering behind the product. It is expensive I agree but tuning cars properly with good reputable company is never cheap.
I lost a shed load when I sold my APR Stage 3 car....I expected to though. This time around I will keep all of my stock parts and sell the car as stock as possible to recoup some of the costs.
Funnily I had a hybrid exhaust....APR DP and CAT then Milltek rear system. Prior to that I had a full Milltek. The exhaust was fine but later people went for other systems such as Blue Flame. BTW Oettinger was bought out a few years ago by APR.
I use TSR locally to me....Tom who now runs the company is very experienced and I will use them to fit my Quaiffe at some stage so I tend to use people I trust. TSR of old built my old race car's as did AmD when Mike and Geoff were operating in Oddington and prior to that Brian Ricketts so I've been around for many years. People will tend to defend companies they get good service from and post their experiences but when things don't go right you hope the company you purchase from will sort the matter out quickly and efficiently otherwise with the internet it can be very damaging.
One question.....Do Milltek flow test their systems on each model for maximum efficiency? Do they have the facilities for this?
