Default Video of Milltek Non-res

Here's my attempt at posting video of my recently installed Milltek non-res catback. I agree with previous observations...videos do not do this exhaust justice. You really need to hear it in person.
PS. the video is only a couple of revs. I think future video will include some drive by's.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aEaqYgDBag">Milltek exhaust video</a></li></ul>

Nice.. im surprised you revved her right after turning her on.

Aside from that though... I heard your bluetooth sync, and yes it does sound nice

Where in california are you at? I'd love to hear it in person.

That sounds great. I like the Magnaflow too.

If you did not get them, you must get the downpipes with highflow cats as well.

Did you consider the Res vs. Non-Res. . . noticeable noise diff?

Default Sounds nice. Next video suggestions...

Crack the throttle. The slow, laborious revving doesn't give a great indication. Quick high rev throttle stabs are much nicer.

Default Not at first...

I had the non-res on my B6S4 and thought it sounded great. The non-res on the RS4 has an awesome sound, but it is very loud. I searched past comments, and the reports also say...very loud. There are certain RPM's where it is just as quiet as stock, but it is at the lower RPM's or when you're starting the car when it seems to be the loudest. I called Greg at Stratmosphere and he is sending out the resonators and I'm going to put them on and see the difference. If the sound is just as good, but with 2/3's the loudness, then I'll keep the resonators on.

Default Find someone to loan you a Radio Shack sound pressure meter

and take some slow-average A-weighted readings from the cockpit with the meter strapped to the center arm rest, and the mic pointed forwards.

at idle
normal cruising at 70 mph in 6th gear
70 mph cruising in 5th gear
70 mph cruising in 4th gear
45 mph 2nd gear
45 mph 3rd gear
45 mph 4th gear

If someone could do this with the Millteks, we'd have a point of reference comparison. I can do the same with my stock RS4, since I happen to have a meter for my audio system.
