A follow up to slag1911's post. I have since spoken with Milltek and in the end the car WAS NOT baseline dynoed. It is my mistake and I apologize.
There is a proper dyno event scheduled in the future, and it's necessary. In no way do I want to mislead anyone here. -Pete, Stratmosphere

Not to whine.. but I'll whine to the aftermarket.
When you have a development car - doesn't it make sense to baseline the stock car with a dyno run before bolting on an exhaust and proclaiming - it has a <<INSERT NUMBER HERE>> HP gain?
Also wouldn't you want to avg. the results of two stock dyno runs and two post installation runs?
Just seems to be common sense to me and makes the tuner more reputable.

those tips are the hottness! is that system 2 1/4 inch or 2.5 inch pipes? I would LOVE to have that single split tip for my ride! damned r56 and their cool exhaust tips.

The Milltek Sport R56 (with full exhaust and no tuning software) was just tested by Performance Tuner magazine in the UK. Their results validate the Milltek claims. Also, our car is here and the first full system will be installed soon. -Pete, Stratmosphere

Please post dyno's when available, a good solid dyno is all thats really a true valid reference to potential customers IMO, well, at least for me it is. Hopefully Sport Tuner magazine has a dyno that they will share? ;-)

Sorry if this has already been asked but will be be able to buy the downpipe and cat seperate from the full exhaust?
And for the tips Im not really a fan of either, any chance the tips from the R53 exhaust could work, those are awesome

We will offer the catback and the downpipe/cat separately. As far as tips, they are removable. What that means is more potential options. At the start, we will have the dual ovals only. -Pete

With the turbo car I predict that path will be...
1) Software
2) Exhaust
Since we have no software data yet, it will take some time to see if if plays out this way. -Pete

The system arrived today, I will have my car dyno when I get back in town and post results, with any luck I will have the exhaust on by friday.
Thank You.
