does anybody run a milltek anymore? advice needed

Yes my Miltek is 100cell, it was also used so unclear how many miles on it total.
Your best bet might be the PBK- in can probably alter it to your liking as well. Loads of "take off" stock exhausts on eBay if you need a core. Plus as others have said money-back gaurantee! Let us know which way you go-

Gearhead,
EP stage 1 sounds perfect for you. I've heard a couple of 996tt with EP1. No drone inside, nice throaty sound oustide and not overly loud. Best exhaust I've heard so far but keep in mind I haven't heard all that many different exhausts yet. I would still say it is slightly louder than stock inside but not by much. Never heard an EP2 Loud or quiet but hoping I get to one of these days to see if I like them as well. Good luck in your search.

HI,Thats what I was told that my Cargrahics,medium sound version,sounds like??Both have same size piping for stock tips,both have the large HJS cats but Cargh[200 cell] and Euro[100 cell] cats.....Tony from EPL would probably know exhaust sounds..........

I agree 100%. When I was shopping for a 996tt I drove a lot of cars with aftermarket exhaust systems and finally settled on the RUF with 100 cell cats - NO drone and sounds aggressive enough while still refined. I just didn't want an exhaust that's so loud that it screams "look at me"........However, opinions are like a****les, everyone has one. Make sure you hear the exhaust that you are about to spend big bucks for in person before you sign that check....

[QUOTE=TekNiC3;3117001]So the Europipe has some drone as well?
I've driven the x50 996tt with the large k24s and a Europipe 2 loud and it sounded good at idle or high rpm but had too much drone/boominess when the engine was in the 2200-3000 rpm range. To my ears, it was quite unpleasant... Can't say what the EP2 quiet sounds like.....

Here are the backpressure numbers :
Stock exhaust : 0.36 Bar
Ruf : 0.22 Bar
EP 1 : 0.18 Bar
EP 2 : 0.15 Bar
Measured in 4th gear at full boost near redline.

My Milltek 200 on my X50 did drone slightly at around 2500-3000rpm... not annoyingly, but certainly noticeably - however, since I added Ruf Manifolds, the drone has gone. Must be something to do with the changed flow characteristics, but zero drone now & am very happy.
