looking at full system for the S3 , if i go res milltek will it make much noise ? i had non res cat back on the ed30 but dont really want it as loud as that on the s3 , value your opinion s guys
i like the look of the blue flame too but thinking that will be noiser still ??? :happy2: :happy2:

How about just adding a downpipe and cat to your OEM exhaust? :smiley:
-
I've got res turbo back and its just right for me, when cruising on the motorway etc nice and quiet but when you press on it gives quite an aggressive bark. A few lads on here have commented on how well it sounds from the outside when following :happy2:
must get someone to do a drive-by for me so I can hear it :smiley:
-
gaz i really need to see and hear your car mate ! think i m getting free revo trial next weekend :driver:
-
As alread said the dp and cat wth the standard cat back sounds well, i only really wanted performance and not too much noise but it has made a nice difference, bit raspy and pops...

Gaz come to the ring next year and i will do a few laps for ya, while you wait by the spot near the hotel. Its a great section and i could try and do some 4 wheel drift for you as well if you want. :happy2: :star:

I have a Milltek res TBE on my K1. I would highly recommend it. As said its very unobtrusive on the motorway inside the cabin, but when on the move it sounds really purposeful. Friends have said it sounds mean as hell fom the outside but you don,t realise that from the drivers seat.

....I'm sure that if you buy him a beer, TC will do a drive-by for you at The Ring as well.

The res really aint loud enough for me. I had the non-res Milltek TBE on my ED30 and I still wanted it to be a tad louder! :chicken: Have you ever heard MatED30's car, that is where it's at :grin:
-
his car looks so good to be fair and like you say the sound is very nice from the outside at least soon as i saw/ heard i thought i better start saving! :happy2:

.... *cough* I'm sure you know what I'm likely to say: Something about growing old but never growing up?
Do you feel that 40yo is a major threshold when you suddenly become Captain Sensible? But be forewarned that after 50 you revert back to thinking you are 20!

Resonated for me, sounds great. I've always gone for resonated on my cars, except the RS4, but had to change that after two days, it was just too loud for the wife and kids!!

This thread really illustrates well how subjective exhaust music is. What's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander........Never mind! It's something like that.
-
I am thinking about this exact same thing for my S3.
At the moment I think I'll just go with the DP, either Milltek or Blueflame - not decided which yet, I think both have there pros and cons.
-
I've mostly has Miltek in the past but this year I decided to try APR's RSC system. As their blurb says it's very quiet and refined and there is hardly any intrusion into the cabin and when cruising it's quieter than stock.
When you're really on it yes there's a real superb Gallardo howl difficult to explain really but strangely it doesn't make it boomy at all inside the car. It's a full 3 inch system that's another consideration.
-
dont know what but sme thing tells me no to apr !! i m growing really fond of the blueflame , quality looks good and well priced but whats the noise like in the cabin , ???? sounds well from outside
-
i've just put a milltek non res cat back on the leon and its a lot quieter than i was expecting, its louder but not much. There is the occasional pop and the turbo spooling is a little more pronounced but its not excessivly loud.
