it was better than I expected!.

Install notes:

The milltek arrived late on Friday. Opened the box to make sure all the pieces were there. It was packed very well... but the box showed alot of abuse. I spread it all out and all was accounted for.. Noticed a small dent on top of the resonator. It had no impact on the functionality.. so no biggie. Very nicely constructed! A very quality built product. The instructions said to remove the old system and install the new. Nothing more than that... The hanger system is all different for the mufflers... but it was easy to figure out. I had my son help me and it was easy to do.. Just a bit of a puzzle with the new brackets..
A diagram would have been nice... the milltek plates are a nice touch..
This is a true bolt on system. It bolted up and aligned PERFECTLY. The best I ever experienced.. No leaks, squeaks or groans... and no resonance! Clearance on all areas is like stock.. Much lighter than the OEM setup... that thing is heavy!

The test drive..

Fired it up after removing the jack stands... Nice mellow deeper tone but not too loud for these old ears.
The burble in low gears is awesome with a nice deep tone... very classy euro sound... not some cheap rice mellon launcher tone.
Under WOT it sounds deep and throaty... but the blower whine comes thru and in good contrast... At cruising speed in 6th, its like the stock unit.. not a decibel of resonance at any speed or rpm...
Very impressed with the sound , fit and finish... Great system!

 

Sounds like the Millitek; glad to hear everything went smoothly and your happy with the mod.

 

Great thing is, it'll sound even better with time.

 

I received mine as well on Friday (from the group buy). I can't wait to get it installed. Thanks for the write-up.

It's very easy to install... I had the car up on jackstands and had plenty of room to remove the old ehaust in one piece. Installing it was just as easy since it was in 3 pieces.. You will love the sound and looks! Enjoy!

 

 

You have exactly the three mods I am about to do. What are your overall impressions regarding the difference from stock 'till now? Torque,sound....

 

I can't seem to eliminate the leak from the slip joint on mine...

 

I did the pulley and the intake at the same time. Transformed the car completely. It's amazing how much quicker the car is.. especially down in the lower rpms.
The intake sounds are great... the intake is quiet when you want it to be.. when you want to play.. it whines up a fine tune. The exhaust now is similar... deeper at idle, louder at WOT and great feedback when you lift your right foot... The whine still comes thru.. crusiing is still about the same as stock...
I am very pleased with the power and sounds... next step is some programming to optimize these new parts.

 

I used the supplied greese/sealant lube that ame with it... I also kept the slip collar close to the edge of the joint...Made sure it was clamping down on both pipes in a solid area. I fired the car up on the jack stands and noticed no leaks as I could feel around the joints when it was still cool.
