Did you look at any other systems or did you go straight in and buy a Milltek?

How much of a difference does it make when its been used for a while?

I was originally going to go 100% for the milltek but after reading threads such as this one im very tempted to go for a Blueflame or if funds allow APR :happy2:

I've got a milltek res centre section mated to a scorpion back box and it sounds great! Louder than standard by a great deal but not too much that it drives you mental

He's right. give it a couple thousand miles and then ask yourself again.

It will sound more of a deeper , raspy noise, rather then abit breathless when its new and also looses it "boomy charactistic" at higher speeds.

Over a period of a few months mine changed tone two or three times, and when it get's really hot it pops and bangs as good as the rest of them!  :evilgrin:

Generally, the Resonated Milltek versions are relatively quiet. Milltek's intention is to offer a performance exhaust without too much noise and the Non-Res version is for those of us who prefer a bit more noise.

As others have said, the sound will mature. The APR and Blueflames are louder but harsher. It just depends on what you like best.

Are you remapped?  It does get lounder when you plant the pedal when its remapped.
