You need to listen to all of them really as its subjective to your sound requirements, iv heard full TBE Millys, BF and APR and for me APR was my favorite, however it may not be for you, Matt loves his Blueflame, Robin loves his Milltek.  :happy2:

....Probably Milltek. I say that not because I'm a Milltek fanboy but because by comparison the Blueflame sounds very motorsporty (which is good) and the APR slightly more raucous (also good).

As prepree says, it's very subjective - All three are good products.

can anyone give rough price difference for the above ie i take it Milltek most reasonable, then you pay a premium for bluflame and APR and what of this BTB one is that a remortgage house affair?

Dunno prices but the main three are fairly similar IIRC. I have never heard of BTB.

BTB = simply awesome.

Milltek I like as they are subtle and sound good, more so at higher RPM

B.Flame I find quite loud personally, had a car in today (gti) with one and could hear it from miles away when customer went for a post map test drive.

Remember that exhaust volumes and sound change drasticly when the engine is tuned further, so its likely to sou d different as you add more mods.

Good point about the sound changing with mods  :happy2:

Also the sound will 'mature' as the pipes coke up a bit.

Can you be more specific about BTB being "simply awesome", please  :happy2:
