I see. Whats the exhaust like to live with? I wouldn't mind something with a tad more rasp to it, but equally I don't want to make the car sound like my exhaust is blowing at 70mph etc. It's not always easy to tell from youtube vids and the like.

It drones, that's the annoying bit, not to good if your doing a long run with passengers in the back. It sounds amazing when your driving around town and pushing it through the lanes. Do u commute? As the milltek is supposed to be a little less boomy than the k-tec.

Ah ok, this is what I feared. As you say, you don't mind it making some noise when you want it to...

I don't commute so wouldn't be a major issue but would probably opt for the miltek if its less boomy. I probably need to be a passenger in a 197 with one on and then make up my mind.

If you're just wanting a bit more rasp Mat then you can just cut the silencer out of your std exhaust. It costs £40-£60 (depending on garage). It should give you a bit more noise and rasp without being boomy. Then if you don't like it you can either put it back in, or replace the system with a Miltek/Ktech.
