996tt Milltek soundfiles
Discussion
Lots of talk of which exhaust to have fitted to the 996tt recently. I have had 3 exhausts on the Turbo now and have finally settled with the Milltek.
I Cleaned and waxed the car today which took about 5 hours so I went out to take a few pics and decided to record a couple of sound files too.
I met up with a forum member last week so they could have a listen but have had another couple of emails from people wanting to meet but I am off on hols so here are a couple of recordings to help you make up your mind.
Still more than happy to meet on my return.

Cool - how much (if u dont mind me asking) did you pay for the Milltek fully fitted ?
I believe Milltk is the exhaust DMS fit ?
yes exactly the same as DMS apart from DMS use the 200 cell and this is the 100 cell cat version. I paid £1750 for the exhaust and I fitted myself.I believe Milltk is the exhaust DMS fit ?
I was quoted a big variation on labour times for fitting from 2 hours to 5.5 hours. If the car is cold and there are no probs removing the standard kit I think the Milltek could be fitted within 3 hours.

YES, miltek is the dms fit
Before you dive in with the miltek i would ask you to have a look at the designtek titanium system at £2400 ..........the noise is totaly outstanding mate
From the comments I have been getting, constantly i may add....its probs the best on the market at the minute.in my opinion that it
go on design 911

the Design tek is VERY light in comparison to other exhausts, 7kg compared to the Milltek(25kg) and the OEM at 48KG!!!!Before you dive in with the miltek i would ask you to have a look at the designtek titanium system at £2400 ..........the noise is totaly outstanding mate

It is a good deal louder than the Milltek, a bit loud for me. (and the neighbours apparently!)

No offense but that sounds pretty weak. I know the turbo's do quieten things down alot, but it just sounds like any old 4 banger with a sports exhaust.
maybe you have something wrong with your PC or your ears.... 
no offence.I guess its all personal preference and after having 3 different exhausts including a tubi I have to say the Miltek/DMS is the way forward with the 996TT
I had a tubi on my 996tt x50 for around 2 days..it was too boomy and sounded like a wet fart.
Ended up with the titanium system from designtek.which is louder than the miltek ...but from the great/positive comments I have had from passers by to friends and porsche owners ITS THE ONE FOR ME.
YOU WANT TO HEAR IT AT FULL BOOST/BLAT!!

I dont like the Milltek sound for the N/A cars either, just sounds flat.
Each to their own.
Got a 200 cell Milltek fitted last week and had the opportunity of an early morning drive to Ragley to test it out 
As I have a cabrio., I was wary of getting something too noisy, but the Milltek is just fine - makes all the right sounds when you hit the volume pedal.
On a side note - I was desperately keen to get the xorst fitted in time for Ragley and had heard tales of stuck/sheared bolts making the job a bit of a challenge. I therefore decided to go with the 'experts' and asked my OPC to do the job. I received a cautionary tale about what this could do to any warranty claims but decided to go ahead.
Was gobsmacked to say the least when I was presented with a bill for 5hrs work (at OPC rates) !?!?! Having spoken to Lee and seen his car, I was expecting a maximum of 3hrs for the job, which I roughly understand to be:
- remove 8 bolts
- lower old exhaust
- raise new exhaust
- tighten 8 bolts
Stick in 30mins waiting time for WD40 of similar to loosen said bolts, 30mins of 'test driving' and I'd have expected an OPC mechanic to do the job in 2hrs tops. The book time for a set of OEM pipes is 4hrs !?!?
Serves me right for being impatient I guess, despite all my queries, raised eyebrows and raised voices they stuck by their bill, even telling me that the mechanic had clocked up 6.1hrs on my car.
Not surprised I was able to book the car in at short notice, everyone else was booked in at their local, friendly Indy's.
Said OPC had two CGT's (both black) up on the ramps...which kind of gives away which OPC it was.... seems every time I am in the garage area there are at least 2 in there.

No need to rub it in...I'd been quoted similarly low prices elsewhere, but no-one could guarantee fitting me in.When i researched it these guys were the cheapest: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/milltek/milltekporsch...
fitting should be no more than £300

Quick question - whats the difference between 100 & 200 cell cats?
Are the 100 cell more free flowing and deliver better noise / more power ?
I hear that 100 cell cats often light up the CEL on the dash and also can be an issue come MOT time with emmisions - whereas the 200 cells have none of that ?
Comments?

Ben at Car Evolution advised me that Milltek had halted production of the 100 cell variant (at least for a while) due to a number of CEL issues reported by owners. I know that Lee (who started the thread) has a 100 cell one and has had no CEL issues with it.
You're right - 100 cell's should be free-er flowing and are therefore slightly noisier.

The job is 3hrs as long as you get the bolts up to red hot first. Ideally remove the rear PU first, then remove the tips, as you are re-using them ! Then get it really hot by running the motor & the trusty flame torch. Then loosen the 4 very awkward to get at bolts on each turbo. Unplug the Lambda sensors remove a few brackets, enlist the help of a friend and drop the exhaust off. Then commence heating up the usually very rusty Lambda sensors up and try to extract them without damage [c£146 each !] You are now ready to assemble the new exhaust and offer up to car with new Turbo flange gaskets and new copper nuts & washers. Put in place, tighten up and proceed to spend 20-30 mins getting it all aligned to look as straight as poss. All fittings are usually rusted to bits so new sleeves are usually the order of the day as well.
Refit rear PU then attempt to fit tips and get them straight ! Remembering that you did not make either the car or the exhaust but if its on the piss it will be your fault LOL.
Start car, listen for leaks, heat it all up and tweak all the nuts,lamdas etc. Lower off lift and hand back.
Not the easiest way to earn £150 + parts is it ?
