  • Review: Milltek 2.5" Exhaust

    So I finally got my Milltek yesterday and Richard at Dubsport was kind enough to put it in for me on very short notice, the day before he left on holidays (there's your plug Rich ). Anyhow I got the Milltek 2.5" resonated cat-back system as I already have a downpipe (2.5" GHL). The system looks very good, nice clean bends, nice welds, and a very clean oem looking tip. As far as sound goes, I love it! At low revs or light throttle it honestly sounds almost stock, just a hint louder if you have the windows down. If you are looking for a loud, attention getting exhaust, look elsewhere. Under full throttle it gets just loud enough to let you know its there, but not enough to have everyone within a 3-block radius know your flooring it. Just a very smooth, deep tone. Absolutely no drone with this system at all. With windows up at 130km/h it sounds stock, which is good since I do a lot of highway driving every summer. As far as performance, it definitely feels a bit quicker up top, and power seems to come on a bit more smoothly. Its not a night and day difference, but I can feel its a bit quicker.

    All in all, I would definitely recommend this exhaust to anyone looking for a nice performance gain, without excessive noise. If anyone is interested in one, we (Norden Autohaus) can special order them for you.

        Sweet! I can't wait to hear what it sounds like in person. If I were going to pick up a new cat-back, it would either be Milltek or Magnaflow. I'm not a fan of the (in my opinion) fart can sound of the GHL cat-back. Not only do I not like the sound, but I've seen some threads on vortex that indicate poor quality aswell.

        Good choice dude. I can't wait to see the new wheels.

          So last night I had my friend do a couple acceleration runs while I stood behind the car, and I gotta say, WOW! I love how this thing sounds! Its actually suprisingly loud from behind the car, considering its barely noticable inside with the windows up. Very impressive!
