Miltek exhaust hearing near Portsmouth

Post by ChrisA » Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:23 pm

Hi guys

As you know if owned my car for nearly two months now and haven’t really suffered any major issues (touch wood). So I thought it appropriate I buy Hilda an anniversary present. I was thinking that a Miltek exhaust would probably be a good start but without hearing the difference between the resonated and none resonated I can’t decide which one to go for. (I’m not a fan of listening for difference on YouTube)

Are there any local owners to me who would be willing to take me out for a little drive just so I can decided which way I want to go? I’m in the PO9 area and am will to travel 20 odd miles to listen to your exhaust.

Cheers,
Chris.

Hi Steve

That’s perfect, thanks. 👍 When would be a good date for you? I’m a shift working so any week day can work for me.

Thank you for your time today Steve and taking me out for a ride in both your wonderful C5 RS6s. I wish we had time for a spin in your C6 RS6. 😎

I was surprised that, IMO, there was too much difference in the noise between both the resonated and none resonated systems. However the was certainly enough of a difference between them and my standard exhaust to make one.

Hi Chris,
Thanks. Hopefully it has made you decide which system you go for.
Its a shame we never had a silver/blue and grey one for a Full House Pic.
Cheers Steve.

Now that would have been cool. Will have to try and arrange that soon before you sell yours. 😉

They are aero engines used as wind machines for film /tv work.
Not as fast as the RS6’s !!!!but they do make some noise!!

Hmmm. I could use one of those to blow my neighbour’s grass smoke back at them...
