spiffo 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've got a '96 VR6 Highline with a Milltek exhaust fiited on it but I'm not that happy with it.Basically it booms / drones, it's louder when you put your foot down which is fine, but even cruising at a constant speed there's a constant low frequency droning which is spoiling my enjoyment of my top tunes.Are they all like that, it's not a cheap exhaust system by any means, maybe it's had it ?

matty.vrt 120 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 ive just fitted a milltek to my car done 50 miles on it and it just sounds like standard i went for the resonated systm which means it has a centre section and a back box.im shure they do a none resonated with just a back box i can imagine that being quite loud.milltek say that there exausts dont drone or bore like cheaper exhausts u should try giving them a ring am shure they come with a lifetime warenty not certain tho.

spiffo 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Mmmm just went to the website and there's no center box listed for a MK3 Golf, only two types of back box, a cat bypass pipe and a high flow cat.The website also says they offer resonated and non-resonated versions of most of their systems, any idea how I would tell whether my back box is a resonated or non-resonated unit ?

H13VYY 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 my milltek system purrrs at 2.5-3k but not loud enough to spoil the tunes. is yours decatted? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 miltek is the best exhaust ive had so far. sounds lovely, and compliments my induction noise a treat. Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 miltek exhausts for a mk3 VR dont have the option of being resonated or not thats what i was told anyway when i brought mine. mine has been on my car for months now and i love it, its not to loud and doesnt sound cheap, compliments my engine and bmc perfedtly to give an amazing sound Link to post Share on other sites
spiffo 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Cheers for all your input guys ! Link to post Share on other sites
spiffo 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if some people thought that it wasn't too loud at all, it's a very subjective thing after all. But for me it's a bit much.Has anybody changed one for something else, a Supersprint for example and noticed the difference ? Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 i was told only the resonated is avalible for the golf vr6 dont think i would have got non resonated any way would of hated to pay all that money and it be loud. Link to post Share on other sites
ThermalP4 1 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've go the same problem as you mate but mine is de-catted so i'm assuming that's the reason for that. Link to post Share on other sites
spiffo 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Cat and the standard mid box are still there, with a Milltek back box, I might just go back to standard and see how it goes. I'm sure someone will give me some money for it, shame as it looks pretty good, if Milltek are one of the best then it probably just proves that I'm really picky and I won't be satisfied with any aftermarket performance exhaust.Oh well, more expense :-( Link to post Share on other sites
saichy 1 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 what about getting a miltek center section i would of thought that it might make it sound abit better as it might have more baffels in it or something. just a thought tho. Link to post Share on other sites
goonersteve 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I might just go back to standard and see how it goes. I'm sure someone will give me some money for itThey will indeed! Just drop me a PM if you decide you want rid mate Link to post Share on other sites
