Plus Miltek has less restrictions in piping than akrapovic:
Yeah, because dents in an exhaust make a big difference :roll:

Skip to 2mins for the testing.

Did u saw my picture with a small box in a middle of akrapovic exhaust http://imageshack.com/a/img922/3396/8gTWTG.jpg That's not very good for engine, it makes back pressure, check Miltek non resonated version all pipes on exhaust are straight

Guarantee that will have no measurable effect on backpressure. It's a resonator, most likely straight through and will be there to manipulate sound, that's why the Miltek will be a louder system.

Tip - If you really want to bang that Miltek drum of yours, then try using the 3” argument. For a tuned car after larger power figures, then yes, a 3” Miltek system would help. That being said, the Akrapovic system wasn’t designed for ‘tuner’ application, so not really comparing apples and apples.

Yes for power purposes it is better as it has a bigger bore but also because it is available as a turbo back system (for less money than the Akra cat back).
