Beefy and purposeful. Would have picked non res awe but again costly. With the change from the milly I can get some hookers in Oxford when the wife's shopping.
Just checked out the miltek non-res. Nice! I do wonder if normal driving is compromised though.

Ah' ok, was wondering. I'm expecting some drone, but having lived with Blitz nur spec r' and various other drainpipe exhausts on Jap machines, then I ain't too bothered about a bit drone.

One mans drone is another mans pleasure :beerchug:

I quite like drone around town, I found the milltek a little lacking up the revs to be hones as the pitch changes with revs. But we all love something a little different which makes for great meets like Box Hill the weekend just gone.

Exactly!

I think I need to hear this non-res myself as on the videos it sounds great and I am now swaying towards it myself! Hate those tailpipes though. Any way of changing them for stock looking chromed ones?

All of them.

Miltek looks good with ovals, its the quads I don't like. Love the stock quads though.

It's the black ovals I'm getting. Love the look of them.

I told that the exhaust changealeanbery little difference in the performance that it is more for noise. Talks of a 5bhp gain have been banded about. Is this correct as for £1800 that's a lot of money for a noise. ?

Yip, from what i've read and been told, the exhaust is not needed to achieve performance. I'm getting mine just for the noise. Fed up spending my money on drugs and hookers, so thought an exhaust would be better :thumb:

Does it make much difference to the sound of the V6? Don't think I have heard one.
