I have the Milltek Valved non res, not any problems so far, great sound, very mature, HOWEVER i'm thinking of selling as I have gone of the look of it, as I prefare the OEM one, as i don't like the fact that you can still see the inside exhaust ports, I'm thinking of spraying these black (trial and error) so see how it goes, will keep you updated.

do you mean the 2 small bits you can see here?? didnt the standard have this too?? i can't remember now?

They're set much deeper inside on the OE exhaust so they don't notice anywhere near as much.

That's the other good thing about the Milltek Optics exhaust - as it's black inside as well as the outside. You therefore don't see four circular exits.
Bail out, bail out, bail out.
Do I have to wait for you to say it three times.......

Have no fear! thanks to the B7 v8 'feature' of spraying crap out the back end like a diesel, you will only be able to see inside of the tips for a day or two....

I have a strong suspicion the exhaust in the pic above in brand new!

Miltek - Warranty...

Post by weblissimo » Mon Feb 09, 2009 8:53 pm

I'm sure Miltek offer a good warranty but doesn't it worry you that it means it's no longer backed by Audi themselves...it's always pu tme off doing any mods until the manufacturers warranty has expired??
Thought for the moment...

...if some mindless ASBO keys your car as happened to my previous S4 then stay positive...they may have had a moments glory in front of their mates but they only did it because they're jealous of you being able to drive it every day! Who drives wins!

Thoguht about taking a trip to Sweden sometime in the Summer....the roads look pretty wicked. What's the story on speeding and police?

I know exactly what you mean, i had my little girl in the car a few days after mine was fitted. I was in 4th coming down a slip round road so gave it some beans to join the flow when both of my pipes came off at the cat.

It sounded like the car had blown up along with the sort of vibration i can only imagine you get on the way into space! I've never seen my little girl look like that before or since :shock: :lol:

Just goes to show how good the systems are at muffling the engine... because it can sound like a V8 muscle car, very easily! (if that is what you want!)

The tunnel was fun though! lol :shock:
