although it may seem ok to you, as you bought the car with it on, but for some who have changed from standard to milltek it is quite a noise difference.

Fair enough... I'd love to hear a standard CSL exhaust and then a full SuperSprint system, half of which I have on mine to compare. I hear good things about SuperSpring back boxes but not so about Milltek, though it looks lorvelly

I had the Miltek Mk.2 full system, boooooom-tastic, made worse with 100 cell cats.

I now run standard system (and standard cats) with SS Race Lightweight backbox - it amplifies the CSL 'rasp' nicely and is rather less droney than my old Miltek. Also looks better too imho, and passes noise testing with 97db at most places i have been - except Oulton where it was 101db?!

My set up sounds deeper and slightly more burbly/raspy than Robs -

SuperSprint 100 cell cats
SuperSprint Resonated Centre
SuperSprint lightweight BB (not race version as is on Robs)


Love it

Hmmmm... pleasant, but a little too muffled for my liking

Actually, under hard acceleration, it's slightly louder than the Miltek i had - but in a 'more pant straining' way - to my ears anyway!

Exhaust noise is always very subjective and everyone has a preference of course. I simply tired of the Miltek as it droned too much for my liking and sounded more like a Porsche C2S from behind than a CSL! I have track side footage of my car (with Miltek) following another CSL (with standard exhaust) round Castle Combe and my car sounded dull and boring in comparison to the other

Only one (reasonably priced) option and that's SS lightweight backbox. It sounds great, looks great and weight is only 10kg's not 20. Standard back boxes are 25kg's+.

I have std cats, SS silenced centre section with SS lightweight BB. Very pleased. Rob swopped to his current SS backbox after a Miltek and after listening to mine at CC. Robs flyby is a reasonable representation of the sound but still doesn't sound like it does in the flesh. His car sounds lush and so does mine.
