Title: Dont Really Rate My Milltek If Im Honest...
Post by: Ashmond on 29 January 2008, 14:18
And am thinking about selling, its a 3 week old non resonated system (dual exit). Just wanted to know how much I could actually get for this, thinking about getting something else instead. To be honest its not loud enough, its proper quiet and I just dont really rate it

Anything wrong with the gains, or is it just the noise you're disappointed with?

ps  You do mean 'non-res' as in unsilenced centre section, don't you?  :undecided:

Not sure about power gains if im honest because its been on there since the conversion has been done so dont know any different but it doesnt growl at all even with high revs, its really weird if im honest with you!

And yes thats what I mean by non res  :smiley:

well there must be something wrong with it then because when I was boosting properly it was quiet even when at high revs. If I dont get enough money to buy a new system il keep it its just that tbh i thought it would be better!

Its all down to personal taste Really isnt it.
 
I dont like really loud road cars and love my milltek to bits! When you drive normaly mine sounds like a factoy car, Untill you boot it then you get that deep note.

 If we all liked the same how boring would it be  :evil:

 if not sure is there something wrong with it ,is best bet is to find someone who got the same system as u and check is there any difference ........

If its not boosting properly mate, and that is affecting the sound, how do you know that its the Miltek that is at fault in the sound stakes?
Title: Re: Dont Really Rate My Milltek If Im Honest...
Post by: Ashmond on 06 February 2008, 12:49
Because when it was boosting properly the other week I didnt really rate the sound mate.

Gotcha.  Can you not take it back?  Is there no form of "satisfaction guaranteed" offer from the place you got it from?  Or from Miltek?

I'm sure i've read Millteks have to be "run in" somewhere????
Title: Re: Dont Really Rate My Milltek If Im Honest...
Post by: Ashmond on 06 February 2008, 14:25
I got if from the guys who did the conversion so if there was a satistfaction guaranteed id would be straight over there and complain about the conversion let alone the milltek!
