Looking at the Milltek and the Borla exhaust. Other than about $400, is there a difference?

Is the Milltek exhaust system really worth about twice the price as the Borla? I heard an S4 with the Borla last night, and I liked it alot. I'm just curious why there is such a price difference. TIA

Default I can't think of any reason why to get the Milltek,

The Borla fit and finish is great. It is stainless and has the million mile warranty. Sounds great, and its cheaper. Would have been my choice if it was available when I bought my exhaust.

Default Milltek prolly a slighty better in quality/looks. other than that, it's a little more quiet.

I have the borla and I love how it rumbles.

Default How much more quiet?

That was the only thing I was wondering. I liked how the Borla sounded, however I was looking for an exhaust that sounded almost stock and it was a little louder than what I was looking for. How much more quiet would the Milltek be? Is there another system out there I should be considering that costs as much as the Borla, is almost stock sounding, and adds performance?

Default I think the Milltek is your best choice than, it's slightly louder than stock but

quieter than the borla. But too much $$$ for my wallet!!! Where R U located? try to meet someone w/milltek around your neck of the woods.

Default No in cabin droan w/ Forge or Milltek 8^)

+ Forge has better build quality. I paid less than what you have seen on the web and still have the factory warranty.

Default I dont think the milltek is any better in quality. The materials and welds on the Borla are

as good as you are going to get on an aftermarket exhaust. Looks are just subjective, and I prefer the Borla look to the stock looking Milltek. Save the $400 and get an exhaust that you can hear.
