MMMMMM Milltek!

[Key Walshe]

Looks lurvely...

Got a full system on mine (courtesy of previous owner) and it's quite bassy, but not ridiculously noisy - for a full system, and considering the thickness of it and only having back & middle boxes, plus no cat. conv. I think it's pretty quiet and I don't find it an obtrusive noise when driving at sensible speed/revs, it just burbles along nicely. When you wind it up then it does begin to howl & whail which is nice

Right, I got the slight blow sorted on the joint today, but like the fool that I am, I forgot to get some decent pics while it was on the ramp...

I did manage to get a short clip of how it sounds though

The camera doesnt of seemed to of picked up how deep and bassy (is that a word?!) it is, but if you play it loud you kind of get the idea!

Mine is definitly not quiet!
Has anyone tried using sound deadening material on the boot floor to help quieten the boomy sound when reving 2-3k?

[Acidburn]

can you not just use a bung of some kind?

Ear plugs?

I've heard a couple of milltek exhausts and I always thought them to be rather quiet in sound, might have just been me.

i have the milltek as well with both boxes.it is loud from 2000-to 2800rpm then quiets down for the turbo to kick in with it's noise...
I could do without the low range boom.Im thinking of either modifiying the milltek boxes,or replacing them

[dest]

Once I get that joint checked out, I should be able to sort afew clips

I'm deciding to get a cat back milltek for my s2. before i buy it i was wondering if someone could post a sound clip.

thanks

Mine didnt seem too bad at 60mph+, if anything, it got quieter.
It was at its loudest around 2800rpm

That sounds similar to the Stromung on my S4. It's a 3" system with no middle box.
About 2500-2800rpm it is at it's loudest. Though cruising at 60 with the sunroof open I get a wonderfully tuneful, subtle warble.

You'll have to let me know how you get on with it once it's sorted , If it's not OTT sound wise I might have to bin my middle box :mischeif: .

I know of an AVANT with a full miltek which is also very boomy at cruising speed .

[dest]

Correct, no middle box.
As I already said, Im 99% certain the volume is due to forgetting to adjust the centre joint where a hole was visible.
The combination of a 40 min drive to work, with 25 mins to do it in, got the best of me and I rushed off without sorting out the gap

So I will reserve judgement until it is adjusted

[FITZY]

Are you not running a middle box then??, I have a milltek cat back on my avant which is a 2 box system and thats just a bit louder than stock (in a nice way).
