I can finally say...

I can finally say that I am in the Milltek owners club. After a month and a half of waiting to get this almost mythical proportioned exhaust, I can now say: wow! It is sweet. Great tone. Beautiful craftsmanship.

I haven't gotten to drive it around the block yet, b/c of missing hardware , but the initial response is great . I can see why everyone speaks so highly of it.

"Beautiful craftsmanship"... are we talking about the same
Milltek exhaust?

"b/c of missing hardware"... oh yes, we are talking about the Milltek!!!

:impatient

i never thought the craftsmanship of this exhaust was that great... it
sounds okay, kinda quiet for my taste. I would get the Invidia if I was
to do it again.

it did clear up the backpressure without loosing too much of the
bottom end torque..so performance is there, i think.

Well, what I meant by that was the welding is of nice/quality welds. A lot better than the stock unit. My stock unit was leaking around the crossover pipe at 7000mi. What a mess.

wtf is the deal with the missing hardware? That seems to be common. Do they expect everyone to go to the local h/w store and get 10 pcs of stainless for $10. That's just crazy, crazy I tell ya! LOL
