Default Milltek exhaust installed yesterday so I did a video and photos

Curious what you think, this is the "race" version which is basically an X pipe, you can see through it, there's almost no sound deadening or baffles, just enough to reduce drone. I miss the howl of my 991 C2S but whatever, I get over it when I push the throttle.




Some new photos because who doesn't like photos?

yes, I agree these cars don't sound amazing. Honestly I think the exhaust note sounds good but the volume is just too low. Maybe when the warranty runs out if I still have the car I will remove cats and do a tune.

Yeh no amount of money will make it sound like an NA car IMO.

But like the OP said, hit the throttle and who really cares hahaha

They say the EP1 is the best solution. I have a Speedtech X pipe and its fine. But I am thinking of going back to stock.

I've had every exhaust you can imagine. Recently tried the Kline, it was fine but I'm having fvd make me another modified stock exhaust ( they basically add 200 or 100 cell hjs cats and remove clamshell), not loud but that's ok with me!

What's the objective? Interesting approach, and one that I've been considering. But the cost of HJS cats alone is enough to justify going to a built system. Let me know when you're ready to sell the Kline

Keen to know why - too much noise/drone?

I had it on another car, cool Porsche sound, 20% louder than stock sport cat performance.
