I use to own a Triumph Spitfire and the exhaust note was classic British. With all the exhausts on the market, I'm wondering which one would sound closly the same? I'm currently considering either the Milltek or the Borla Street. Any ideas who would have an exhaust with this Triumph sound????? :smile:

You might call and ask Randy Webb. He has heard all of the major exhaust options for the MCS and would know what might be the closest. Since the new Milltek is not quite released only Randy and a few others have heard it.
I would not guess that the Borla street would sound like the Triumph Spitfire.

What does a "classic british" exhaust note sound like? Throaty but quiet? Maybe the new Milltek will be the closest.
My Quicksilver might also be close since the London Stainless designers were trying for a "gentleman's" exhaust note.

Thanks.....I'm going to talk to Randy as you suggested. Sounds like the Miltek is about the best out there so far to meet my needs. I would like to see some install pics of it and hear a sound link if possible.......
