Title: Standard exhaust note.
Post by: Gene Hunt on June 20, 2009, 12:03:06 pm

I really like the standard sound level from the o.e exhaust.Question is i want to change it soon to a Milltek system.Which one is closest to standard sound please ?,i.e resonated or non resonated ?.I could live with a slight increase in noise but don't want some chave sounding system.Thanks in advance.

The resonated milltek is probably a little quieter than oem till the upper rpm range.

I have been out in an Edition 30 with a full TBE milltek resonated system ... and didn't realise for quite a few miles it had the system on it - it seemed the same as standard .... until higher revs when it was more purposeful (but still hardly noisier - more a different tone).

I got out of his car and back into mine - with it's std system on .... and noticed absolutely no difference noise wise !
