Milltek Fitted!
Re: Milltek Fitted!
Hearty congratulations, edge! Indeed, the Milltek experience is a joy to behold. It definitely does get more sporty-sounding after a while and 'settles down' into a predictable but intensely addictive and adrenaline-pumping sound. It's going to be bad news for your wallet though, as you'll take every opportunity to down-shift and just blip the throttle and rev the engine hard...but it's worth it!

[quote="lugars4]Had my non-res valved on for 200 miles now. Love the sound.
Its different to what i expected, but that was mostly going on vidoes off the net and 1 track day at castle combe.
I wasnt sure if the rasp at higher revs ( ~4500 under power) was normal at first and was worried it was a bad joint. But it appears it is a characteristic of the non-res milltek ?
The booming at lower revs 1200 - 2000rpm was the bit that took some getting used too, it changes your driving style a bit, and i think for the better. After a week i love the sound, and im sure the car has adapted to be more responsive.
I love doing low power starts, using the rev range in low gears - slowly. The noise it make in a built up town area is mad, so many guys (and girls) gawping, trying to make out what's making that supercar sound...... Its an effortless sound of power, one that makes people look, not because your trying to make an impression, but because if the nature of the sound.[/quote]
Big time, I do enjoy the boom it makes at low revs..... but nothing like the fun of dropping a few gears
