Part of the fun of having a cab is the extra vocal sensation you get from the monster V8 - 6th gear on the motorway, roof down, planting the accelerator = thunder = :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

Only thing I may suggest is the valved version to give you the choice of how loud you want it - loud or louder!!!!!
As I bought Max's last RS4 cab I can vouch for that! :jump_clap: Max you forgot to mention about the barks and cracks you get when you blip the throttle on downshifts especially when going through a tunnel more like thunder then or if there are walls either side! :thumb: you never get tired of that! The only drone I get is at exactly 2000 rpm then it goes as soon as you put foot down :thumbs: BTW I was worried before I bought the car that it would be too loud with S button on especially with family, but now I always leave it on!! :biggrin3:

I had a set of each so I could swap as the mood took me. Easy enough to do on my back on the garage floor with the car jacked up. Hardest bit was getting it off the rubber hanger. Fairly liquid and brut force was the key.
I've got a pair of non-res Milltek centre sections in my garage (used for a year) if anyone is interested in them.

If not then as they're taking up space they're going down the council dump.

I had a day off yesterday to have my Non Valved, Non Res, Black tip Milly Jobby fitted, but it never arrived at the garage until 16:40, looks like it will have to be Wednesday next week!!
