Sounds good to me!

It's a competition for me... do I want to hear my music... or the exhaust... or both, ha. I did figure out the seats-down thing....

Yeah, I did the seats-down thing for a bit after my Milltek install. Now I'm back to ...ahem... *normal.*

The nice thing about the Milltek is that it's not loud unless you're accelerating or getting on it. If you're just cruisin' down the highway/road it's pretty mellow.

My 02 MCS has very little burble, but my wifes 06 MCSC is dynamic to say the least.

I walk out with her everytime she drives it away from the house to hear it pop going up the street. It is very prominent in the MCSC. I wish I had more from my Supersprint Exhaust, but the Alta CAI gives me plenty of aural bliss.

I have a 2006 MCS that had a stock burble that was more like a pop , pop when letting off the gas. I replaced the exhaust with a Borla sport cat back. The burble is even more evident now, but the sound is deeper, and more of a rumble than a pop. I like it

If anyone is interstred, I found a way to get rid of that exhaust noise and did not scrifice any performance and the rest of the exhaust sound purfectly normal. I took my 06 mcs to an exhaust shop here in colorado and had a bigger resinator installed for about $60.00 the noise is completly gone anf the rest of the exhaust through accel and decel sounds the exact same!!!
