Above link is a video clip for the Mille Miglia catback exhaust.
It's an Australian company and for me it sounds very nice.
Kind of dark so cannot see well but just check out the sound.

I will try to take better picture and video clip soon.

Very nice!!! Understated, but throaty and powerful! Where can I get one and how much do they run?

As stated before......awesome sounding exhaust man. If you can give us some more info on this we'd be very grateful. I got an '05 and i'm dying to give it some more grunt. This sounds like a really great way to get that. BTW...you have an '05 correct? I noticed that the '05's have a better exhaust note to it so I'm hoping mine will gurgle and pop just likes yours did on your clip. THanks

Dinan exhaust sound clip

I am looking for a sound clip of the Dinan exhaust. I used the "search" functions but found nothing. I want to find out if it has a really good sound before I purchase one.

They are proffesional aftermarket exhaust maker for Porsche and Ferrari.
I had to have my system shipped all the way from Australia to South Korea,
therefore final cost was about US$1000
(including fitting, shipping, 18% tax) so I guess for those who live in Australia can get it for around 400~600 US$

Correct, I have 05' MCS and It sounds really nice. The sound gets really deep and refined, and at low revs it's quiet.


http://www.millemiglia.com.au/about.html as I have stated above
you can check out their website but they do not have any information for
MCS exhaust on the web. You will have to contact them directly for more information.
I actually called them and asked quite a lot to one of their technician before making an order.

http://www.nicksforzaferrari.com/for...bsite1_002.htm This link is Miile Miglia exhaust distributor for USA,
maybe you can ask these guys if they can get MM MCS exhaust. MM actually offers 10 year quality warranty
and sound guarantee...

Doesn't anyone have any sound/video from a JCW exhaust? If so, please post it, so we can compare!

Thanks mucho!

The clips of the Borla in the first post don't work. Found a soundclip of the Borla race in the thread. Anyone have one of the Borla Sport?

Meg...Borla Race and Sport are one and the same. You can listen to my modified Race by clicking on this VRUM VRUMMM!!! link. It's similar to stock Race only louder

Borla lists two options on their site. One with an extra resonator (listed as agressive) and then one without. What's the difference? Sound? HP?

Also, does ANYONE have a sound clip of the Megan (I just have to try it out with my name and all). I have read of people asking to hear it but not responses.

Well it is listed for the 2005 converts. They are both the same price, but two different systems.

If you look at the part numbers, the numbers are the same for all models, all years for Borla Street. There are two version, Borla Street and Borla Agressive (AKA Sport or Race).

Look at the mufflers. The Agressive mufflers are tiny any sit north/south. The Street muffles are huge cans sitting east/west. The difference in sound is pretty big. Borla street is barely more loud than a JCW (which is quieter than stock). Borla race is MUCH louder. Difference in HP, maybe not so much (from What I have read).

No problems at all! It took about an hour and a half to install. Sounds great. Tips are bigger than stock. Entire system fits flush with underside of car.

I've posted this before but not in this thread. At least that I could find. This is a short video I shot showing the before and after of the Milltek on my 06. I used three 5/16" washers on each hanger to drop the tip down as I saw mentioned once that the tips could contact the rear valence. It fits perfect now even after driving and they heat and expand.

I'm about to purchase my cat-back and have a question I'm hoping someone can answer... Looking at the Borla race, Magnaflow and Miltek, I'm curious how they all sound at freeway speeds. I got a chance to hear the Borla race at freeway speed and didn't care too much for the drone on long drives. How do the other 2 sound at freeway speed from inside the car? Are they as mind numbing after a few hours as the Borla?
