Milltek for me (but then again, I would say that!)

Having seen the woeful fitment of the APR system at GTI International (on APR's stand), I'd avoid it. It might sound good, but for >1K£, I'd be wanting a system that I'm happy with in all aspects.

I love my APR and comparing to the miltek quality it's on another level.

Everyone who has heard it it, loves it..

Mine also fits great but I hear what snapey was saying about the APR stand :lol:

I think the days of Milltek quality issues have moved on a bit and in reality they by their own admission upped their game and in reality are reasonable from a customer service point, their modular stuff now also allows adjustment on tips and styles, issue is on who fits them

Milltek refitted my back section on the Roc given it wasn't installed correctly, which in fairness is the same company who fitted the APR one at Inters but you'd think they'd get it right on a car which is meant to sell showcase the product they sell ;)

I think the roc system has the option of the additional silencing from Milltek which is a box I'd tick if going for the full system

Ahhhh...the company who also "fitted" the milly on marks R.

I said to Charlie at Inters and I'll say it again....mine is a perfect fit since it was fitted 18 months ago by Milltek themselves. :)

Im currently running a milltek turboback non-res with a 100cpsi cat (aka "race" system).
Ive been using this without sw update for a couple months , so I cant really judge its performance HP-wise.
Regarding the sound, well rocc is quitely well sound-insulated, and doesnt sound like a boy racer in traffic, other stock exhausts are a little louder than it (IDLE).
Its sound changes when EGT goes up (ie after extended engine stress), it gets a little more raucous, but comes back to normal if the EGTs go down.
If you like engine sounds, youre gonna love it when you go full throttle in tunnels (it gets really really SCARY), and when it sometime pops in shifting .
If u're gentle with the accelerator pedal, exhaust is gentle too.
But ..when it hits ~ 5.000 rpm, its almost impossible to talk on the phone...

My dealer tells me that Eurojet's turboback system is the best on the market now regarding to the price, sound and effect!
I can't speak for my own but i ordered this system and will install it as soon as possible!

US I assume as IIRC the eurojet system isn't imported into Europe.

PS: Regarding the Milltek turboback non-res, a friend of mine sat in the back seats and found the noise to be a little...excessive...I love it anyway...
