Have you considered a jcweldfab exhaust. It's transformed my car and the workmanship is much better than scorpion or miltek. I had a miltek before the jcwf.

I had a Scorpion non-res valved setup on mine.

Car loses the lovely V8 burble you get from the stock system with the valves held open.

Sounded much smoother, almost like a BMW straight 6.

Made nice crackles and pops when you lifted off higher up the rev range and there was more bark to the blip on the downshifts.

Drone was quite bad between 1600-2000 rpm though.

Only lasted a day before it came back off as it was not the sound I was looking for.

I did look at the JCWF system and although it sounds amazing, I think it would just be too loud for me.

Getting the sound/noise level right is a difficult thing to achieve.

The JHM res system or the quieter version Tubi are next on my list to try.

I have a non-res AWE Tuning ca back system on my 4. Much better built than the Milltek and sounds much better too imo

I'd give JCWF a call tomorrow and get a price before you commit to a milltek or the like.

Is there drone on the Jcwf ? B7

Milltek non res drone is shocking
Non res miltek drone is there But not annoying

If I was to do exhaust on b7 again for the small cost , do what some of these chaps have done & remove centre resonators

+1

I had to swap the non-res to res Milltek as the drone with non-res was impossible for me to live with.

It all depends on what sound your after and what budget you have. A JCWF exhaust is a fantastic piece of kit and the workmanship is second to none. (Budget £2k)

Yes there is drone @ 1600 to 2000 rpm but you can drive around it, also you can tailor the sound to how you would like it when you have the system built.(the boys at JCWF are very accommodating)

Nick, was the £2k for catback or full system?

I have Scorpion Resonated / valved and am very happy with it :
It's lifetime warranted.
Very nice sound and real difference when valves are open.

Interesting to note the centre section design of the scorpion, quite different to other systems. Looks like it'd be restrictive?

Looks like it's better for torque that's what they say (same as OEM)
