Exhaust Recommendations
 

Hi all! Wondering if I could have some exhaust advise please. I have just replaced my Prodrive system with a GRD Race system for better power on the remap. It's a great exhaust (and sounds great) but the kids complain it's too noisy for them in the back. :doh:

Can anyone recommend an exhaust for an 03 blob that's not going to restrict power too much, but isn't that noisy? Preferably something fairly standard looking with a 3" tailpipe. I've heard good things about Milltek but they rarely seem to come up.
Thank you!

Yep...Milltek the way to go:doubleup:

as used by me , simon jgm , mike l
all of us well over 500bhp and its only 95dB

Thanks Tim and CJ.

Tim - have you got yours back yet??

So is the new exhaust to save you getting ear plugs to go to Germany??:whistle:

Come on Greg get your name down.

Save your money and go to spa in october

Milltek are lovely, that's what I have on mine - make sure you get the 3' though not the cheaper and easier to find 2.75.

Another vote for Milltek :)

oy you....nothing wrong with our Ring trip:martyn:

Spa next year:doubleup:

Not yet.....:sadno: Hope by the end of the week if the pistons turn up from the states:paranoid:

Will be worth the wait Tim :)

Tim - will definitely be worth it!

Ian - I haven't given up on the ring yet, although time is now getting short...

Milltek do look very good - ideally if I can get one second hand it would be great, but they don't come up very often. Revolution also look very good exhausts. The question now is cat or de-cat on the Milltek/ Revolution for everyday driving....

To quiet :D

If it were my money and I wanted a 3 inch system, I'd go for the revolution decat'd
If it was someone elses money then the MilTek cat'd.

I hated the sound of my Revolution... had a horrible tinny sound on let off, i sold it a week after buying it

Maybe i got a dodgy one.. but Simons sounds the same when revving at slow speed

Is it heat wrapped. Wrapping can stop some of the tinnie...nes.....

Downpipe and headers were wrapped, everyone who heard it commented on how bad it was... went on another car and was better but still had it a little on lift off at higher revs

Because the RA was stripped it was very annoying inside as it was so clear

LOL i remember your RA being about 2 miles ahead of me on the M40. I could still here it.......

I had to wrap the centre section on one of my decat centres I had a few years back to stop the ringing/tinnie noise.

lol that exhaust only lasted that day ;)

I may have a Milltek sports Cat centre up for grabs soon as I'm going full de-cat before I break the Cat with the Anti-lag!

I'm really happy with my Kakimoto 3" De-cat system.

It doesn't have the burble it used to have ( due to the headers ) but it is nice and quiet. But still gives a lovely note when on full chat.

Saj at JPP has complete systems around £500 - £600.

Agreed... does sound sweet on full chat :tissue:

Cobra track day exhaust,great sound and i'm considering this,because Nur Spec is little bit noisy at mornings or for trackdays

Cheers mate :ok:

So many choices! On balance I'll probably go for a Milltek - but a second hand one. I'll still have a listen to yours Worzel....

Anyone for a GRD Race Exhaust fully slip jointed stainless steel? I'll post it once it's off the car!

My car had one when i first got it

I have a Cobra exhaust which is a lovely note but way to loud, llooking to change it soon! BUT a mate has the HKS superdragger, sounded nice, not as raw as mine but more livable day to day.

have a Hayward and scott on mine , sounds great (de-cat straight through 3" rolled tip) , but it is a little on the loud side when on the boil.

The revolution is nice and quite compared to most others but still didn't find it that quiet on a classic. Also it uses a sleaved system with 'U' clamps rather than flanges, and my one had a slow blow no matter how much I tried to paste and clamp it up.

Miltek would seem to be the master of quiet performance exhausts.

Thanks everyone - i really appreciate the advice. On the basis of the feedback I have got myself a 2nd hand milltek - full 3" system with cat. I'm not sure how restrictive the cat will be though and am considering getting the de-cat downpipe to run day-to-day.

Was very tempted by the Revolution.

The GRD is a great exhaust, but just too loud for the kids! May be posting it in the For Sale soon if anyone was interested as the missus is getting fed up with the car parts everywhere. ("why do you need 3 exhausts, 3 sets of wheels, 12 brake discs for one car" was the comment last night ;)

My sports Cat is running 390BHP, and the Type 25's run 450+ on the sports cats

As spares for Germany when I go in May..:ok::wife::wife::rofl::rofl:

JGM's got one for sale

I would be mate, if you decide to get rid. Looking for a quality 2nd hand 3" decat system. PM me if you do :ok:

Will do! I'll send you some photos once I get it off.
