If the miltek is almost exactly the same as OEM, why even change it out and spend the coin?

No drone, great sound, OEM fitment and no CELs ever.I have had them for over 16 months and I don't give them a second thought, that how unobtrusive they are day to day. More expensive than some but well worth it.

Doug's Tubi is very nice. I opted for the AWE and it is my wife's favorite thing about the car. She wants her Cayenne TT to sound like the 997tt...

200 cell cats, free flowing, ~20ish HP, lower EGT, faster spooling....an exhaust doesn't have to be loud to be good. Milteks are very reasonably priced as well. I've heard them on a cab, not too loud at all, not even close to stock sound levels imo. If i didn't have tubis I might try these out.

Because you can still get some hp gains and stay some what quiet if thats what your looking for ,as in my case.

They make OEM moto exhausts for KTM and others. If they are not already making car OEM exhausts I'm sure they will be soon. When they say you'll make 20 hp., you will. Titanium construction,, these exhausts are the bomb!!! I haven't heard their auto ex. yet but I'm sure they spent a bundle on R+R and it will sound fantastic. Can't wait to see one. Also pretty sure they're expensive.

They will be taking over the lions share of aftermarket exhausts.

They make a good exhaust, but I doubt a takeover is on the horizon. They have priced themselves out of that possibility imo.
