Miltek catBack sound
« on: July 03, 2016, 10:08:59 am »
I recently bought a ramair induction kit which sounds sweet and a non res miltek catBack which looks great but other than a deeper idle I find makes not much of a difference in sound compared to my stock exhaust I had on before? Anyone else who's got the standard downpipe and miltek non res feel the same ?

I've got the Milltek resonated cat back and I thought that it was quieter than standard  :confused:

I bought mine with a miltek cat back on it and I find it extremely quiet. Can't imagine it being quieter than the standard one though surely.

I thought it was pretty quiet at first but once the cars warmed it has a nice note to it. It dosnt pop as much as my standard exhaust for some reason - and I've done a pre cat delete too. But it does have a nice note to it - not too loud and boy racerish

That's what I'm worried about I would like it louder so was thinking an open downpipe to but I feel it would be to boy racer and would drone on the long drives

@Gingerzilla I thought the same thing today going home - of going full turbo back just to get a little more noise. Just don't want drone as I have a baby boy and I'd much rather he sleep on long journeys!! (Even though he seems to go quiet when I accelerate!)

I've even removed the pre cat so don't understand how the one cat left can silence so much noise and that removing that it'll be a straight pipe so would more than likely be to loud

Got a milltek on mine and went with the sports cat, non res option - seriously impressed, its not too loud on longer/steadier drives but gives you immense sound when you want to shift. Id definitely look at altering the downpipe if you think its too quiet youll not be disappointed.

Again you need to remove the resonated box before the rear box to get a decent note out of it.

Would you be interested in doing a swap for a non resonated one? Where are you?
