RS6 (C7) Milltek Exhaust swap...?
Discussion
Hi,
Possibly a long shot, but I'm looking to see if there are any fellow RS6 (C7) owner's out there that currently have a factory Sports Exhaust on their car, which they would be interested in swapping for a 7 month old Milltek Cat-Back system that I had fitted to my car.
Further details are http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/a...
Let's just say not everyone thinks it sounds as cool as I do...!!
Thanks
Rob

Dr G - wise words!
I've asked the supplier / fitter the question with regards to how much quieter, or more importantly where it would lose some noise, although never an easy one to answer without hearing it on a car I guess. I personally quite like it, but the issue I have with some others... is when the valves open past 2,500 circa revs, then admittedly all hell breaks lose. Quieting this down would be helpful. Milltek are due to bring out some revised software where the valves don't open until 5,000 rpm, but it's not yet available. It may be a combination of the two could work.

Dr G - Advice was taken and they have two options; both are resonated with option 1 described as about the same as a factory Audi sports exhaust and option 2, 4db louder than option 1 and described as between option 1 and the non-resonated (louder), which is what I currently have.
I've gone for option 2, so hopefully that will resolve any politics!
Many thanks!

Hi
I did. I took the advice and changed to a resonated, which has made all the difference, so sorry to no longer offer.
What I would say (generally) to 'all' IMO is if you can, get the factory sports exhaust, as the aftermarket ones are not that flattering vs cost to accentuating a 'V8 Noise' as it tends to be quite metallic and harsh rather than rounded and burbly, but I would still recommend as an alternative should you not have the option of a stock sports exhaust, the Milltek resonated, as it's not too expensive (circa £1,500) and seems to be a little louder (but not offensive) than the factory Sports.
