Milltek Exhaust system - Page 7 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Milltek and MXP are definitely the best value exhausts, not the cheapest but the combination of price, looks, sound, and craftsmanship is why they are my 2 favorites.

Where has SRT been? I know why Nameless left but some of these smaller companies seem to have taken orders, got paid, and hauled ass...

I'm glad we have some good ones like Motiv, Perrin, RCE, Ground Control, and a few others that are hanging around.

I didn't think the SRT/Nameless combo sounded bad...but it's nice to be able to have a conversation with her in the car without having to yell to be heard

Milltek: Passes the significant other test!

Also, it seems like the TQ band down low is better with the Milltek than the SRT.

@BigFatFlip did you reset your ECU after the install?

Definitely agree with the wife test, she really hated my borlas (she tought it sounded like a biplane, lol).

I didn't reset my ECU, should I? I meant to ask Gary before I left, but I think I was way too excited to get out of there and start driving that I forgot. Is it just the regular disconnect the battery and wait a few mins then reconnect?

I thought about buying their little strut brace since it was only $100 but glad i didn't support them, sucks them and agency power entice people to pre-order with dyno threads and sound clips and then they put out a half assed product.

Just checked with Gary of Mann Engr. Basically if you installed a full system, then you need to do an ECU reset. No reset is needed for cat back systems. I might just do a reset anyway, can't hurt right?

it sounds very "classy" - deep and growly, without any any drone, buzz or headache. Quiet almost as stock idling, but very noticeable driving around and revving

Just as I wanted it to be. Quite conservative, but the gains are real, the car accelerates much-much easier without any tune

resonated one + Motiv Hi-Flow Cat frontpipe

This is at the top of my list as well. Everything I've heard about Milltek makes me like them.
@JoeBoxer-I'll have to look into the MXP. I'm not familiar with the brand.

I'm in love with those tips.

I just installed this past weekend. I have the resonated version. Just to reiterate what's been posted earlier:

1. Phenomenal quality.
2. Tips look wonderful. Fully fill the exhaust cut-out and are brushed for an expensive look. They are cut with the bumper curvature perfectly.
3. Tips are fully adjustable so you can make it look however you wish.
4. Sound is awesome. Subdued, but there. You can just make it out over the other noises, and you can hear it on blips. The gentleman's exhaust, this.

dem00n · 01-24-2013, 12:06 AM

So by the looks of it, no drone with the non-resonated Primary Cat-back?

Thats the selling point for me.

Bg8780 · 01-30-2013, 11:28 PM

May be a stupid question but when they say off-road use only are they pretty much just referring to California smog laws or does this include sound ordinance laws in all the states? I'm in Georgia and I know there aren't too many restrictions on emissions here. Sorry for being naive, but thank you.

pick up a copy of Modified Magazine and there's a full Tech article with dyno plot on this exhaust:

Gotta find me a Canadian Milltek dealer. I was leaning on Perrin, but this stuff looks classy.
