miltek exhaust nice!!!

miltek exhaust is very nice . quiet at an idle and a nice deep growl when you step on it. highway is excelent you wouldnt even know there was a performance pipe on the car from the sound of it. perfect fitment . im looking foward to adding the matching miltek header next week.

I have the Miltek header and Exhaust. I think it's quiet, but my wife thinks I've ruined her car. I think her ears are constructed differently, though. Pregnant too, maybe that makes a difference. :smile:

how long

well i missed out on the rear part of the install but my friend said he liked the install then we did the rest together, id guess 1 1/2 - 2 hrs at most being that were using a lift. witch just makes it that much easier to work.

I'm waiting for Steve to intall my Milltek on the way. However, I'm curious to know the power gain from the header? Anyone has any figures to share?

I'd bet my NOS equipped 2002 Toyota Prius can kick that Kia Spectra's butt! Can't wait to run the dyno on that one.

who puts nos on a hybrid (not just any hybrid, but the first generation hybrid)? the same guy who waits months and months for a MCS AUTOMATIC, and then scratches his head on how to overcome the power loss.

you want hypocracy? just come over to my house and I'll show you how to be a hypocrit

You haven't seen anything until you see my 1986 Yugo with the 13 inch wheels sports & aero package, plus the Twin Charger with 68mm throttle body. hahahha.:smile:

that Tc really scared you off your butt, didn't it?
but I think it was running a S/C kit. Ive driven one
before and it was like a corolla with tail wind.

How are the butt-dyno results with this header/catback exhaust? $1500+ seems like a lot to spend for just a nice sound.
