Default How load it the Milltek exhaust w/ the windows rolleded up?

I'm so close to whipping out AMEX for Milltek exhaust, only thing holding me back is my infant kid. He's not a fan of riding in cars, but sometimes if I'm lucky he falls asleep.

I know Milltek has a valved option. But I don't use "S" mode too often b/c throttle is too jumpy.

Will the non-valved exhaust be quiet enough for a baby to fall asleep?

Default I highly doubt it. It's twice as loud (or more) at idle...

Conversly, the exhuast note could be more white noise to help your little one fall asleep.

Default It's relatively quiet if you keep the revs down, no?

Maybe it's not worth chancing... parental sanity > new exhaust

Default Are you joking?

At idle is as quiet if not more so than the stock system. With the windows rolled up, its not loud at all. Just keep it between 2k and 3k rpm and ther is only a tone difference between the Milltek and OEM. Above and below that it is louder with load on.

HiRev must be "loud of hearing"; he's non-resonated, too.

Default No i'm not joking. I have downpipes and non res/valved. It's definatley louder at idle...

when you first start the car it's waaay louder until the motor calms.
