Your opinion on best exhaust for S2 ABY

[Jas11n]

IMO the Long life one is noisy! I listened to Ross's and I think it is too loud. ( I am over 30 though!)

Not heard a Miltek but that is what I would be tempted to go for once my OEM one gives up...

The twin box Milltek isn't that much noisier than the standard system TBH. Mines not boomy at any revs..
Mine still has it's OEM cats on though, Mr OEM (ahem, cough "de-cat")

Oh dear. I think he may have to loose his title

Non standard alloys
de catted
looking at non standard exhaust

HID's and a boot install too

All these people tarring longlife exhausts are boomy etc, if you only put in 1 box what would you expect? Run 1 box on a standard system and see how it sounds.

An exhaust sounds how it sounds dependant on design, get a longlife exhaust with 3 boxes and its bound to be quieter than Ross's etc. They make them to suit and usually ask what sort of noise level you want from it.

Who's tarring Ant? (my reply was for Steves query of the Milltek)

Longlife make fantastic exhausts, Marks system looks and sounds the dogs doolies.

All depends what you want as you say.

It wasnt aimed at anyone specifically, just as i flicked thru above a few peoples comments were they are too boomy, just thought i'd point out that they make them according to how people want them and not a set system.

Exactly. Mine was made to my spec and noise levels and I love it. Nice noise low end and noisy (outside) at high RPM. Ask Jas' neighbours

How many silencers/boxes are there in your exhaust system, Mark ?

Well guys I thought I'd chuck my 2 cents worth in too ! I've got a Bosal 3" stainless steel exhaust system which vibrates house walls at idle but is not boomy inside the car at any rpm (I know sounds like a contradiction) but it has a sweet very deep burble and is overall pretty quiet.....it came on the car when I bought it and looks a million bucks...my friends say my S2 sounds like a beast I hadn't really heard much about them over here but the UK website says :
"Established in 1977, Bosal (UK) Ltd is the second largest plant in the Bosal Group and one of the UK's leading exhaust system manufacturers." With 32 manufacturing plants in 21 countries !!! I have no association to this company but am suprised none of you guys have even mentioned the name....I can certainly vouch for the perfect fit finish and sound...and on another note, my 20V 90 Quattro's engine sounds awesome, much better than the 20VT in my S2...anybody else think so ? Seems that the consensus is that the 10VT's rock,but the 20V NA sounds at least as good IMHO

[Jas11n]

Have heard of Bosal in the UK, but they are more associated with cheap pattern replacement exhaust that rot away in 18 months (BTDT years ago on previous cars), and have never heard of them do a SS exhaust for the S2 in the uk. You got any pics?

[quick edit, not saying that yours is bad by the way, sounds cool )

[Offroad URQ]

Wow, go away for a few days and come back to loads of useful info. Cheers guys.
It's probably not going to help much but does anyone have a sound file of their car with Miltek exhaust or any other for that matter?
I'm a fussy bleeder and I know I'll never get the 10V sound of the UR.
So is Pete at Quattro corner the best man for a Miltek or is their other sources around the UK? Pete's been a great help in UR parts...
Thanks again for all the tips.
Much appreciated
Cheers

Next thing I have got to do is the exhaust or the suspension. Can't make up my mind but this is helping!
