He wrote sounds "... quite loud but not as loud as some cars I've driven with aftermarket systems such as milltek,"

I thought the Miltek was the quiet exhaust ... not known for being loud???

Well, Milltek's are pretty demure with the stock header, but I recently put a Megan header on, and all hell broke loose! The Miltek is not doing too much to stop whatever demons are trying to escape those combustion chambers, I tell you!

Oh, man, I shouldn't have watched (& listened to) those GP videos. Now I REALLY can't wait for my MCS-JCW to show up...
