If you want to enjoy more zorst music inside your car, then consider aftermarket engine mounts - They'll transfer more sounds but also very minor vibrations.

If you want to keep the Milltek, ask them about getting a shallower back box like mine (they know who RedRobin is) or like VWR's. With less stuffing, it's a deeper sound and slightly louder. Would be very loud indeed with the standard Milltek non-res centre section.

'Mat Ed30' will doubtless be along soon to sing the loudness praises of his Blueflame.

P.S.- 'jhtrophy' is Mat's French bitch  :evilgrin:

Do you have to save now for a mortgage?
Thought you had to save for the house , but perhaps i'm old and have got it wrong , are mortgages that expensive?
Wait till the interest rate goes up next Thursday :evilgrin:

....Or if no window draft excluders but you have a sunroof, flip the back up to open a small amount - Like in my sig pic below.

You've got a non res milltek and thinks it's quiet  :confused:  my experience of a milltek is that it is fookin loud at WOT, specially with the window down! Have you got an intake on it? Open cone sound lurvvly. I would try a downpipe and decat next, be cheaper than replacing the whole thing for another one I think  :happy2:

If a non-res Milltek is too quiet I suggest something by Powerflow.  :wink:

My non res milltek was loud, then put the downpipe on and it made it even louder.
Then got rid of the milltek non res and backbox and went for a pipeworx one instead, Doesn't look as good, but gurgles like hell, Love it!!!

i bought your milltek backbox an non res center section AL it just dosent seem louder than standard apart from a little drone at motorway speeds could there be something wrong like a blockage or something. also dont have an induction no.  :happy2:

I found  cruising volume to not be too much louder than the resonated, but believe you get a nice drone when pulling away and accelerating.
Could be that I always had an aftermarket intake when the exhaust was fitted, or could just have been my imagination.
