How much noise does a Milltek make at full chat? My car gets used for trackdays and so can't be louder than 95 - 98 db's. Don't think it would be as loud as that but just want to know before I buy  :wink:

my milltek isnt super loud its just got a nice sound to it, its also a corrado system like joes but with a mk3 VR6 tail pipe. i thought the bore of the corrado G60 one compared to the golf one is bigger meaning better air flow correct me if im wrong

i wasn't trying to say mine was any better :rolleyes: however i have a milltek g60 downpipe. they also differ in tailpipe design so in that respect i do have a corrado g60 system as opposed to a golf one.

I think you shouls just about me ok mate. If in any doubt opt for a Supersprint instead.

Ok guys looks like Milltek is a no go, went into AMD at Bicester where I was going to get it from and asked about the noise limit. They phoned MIlltek direct and came back with it will be too loud.

So now thinking of getting a Jetex system, anyone else got one?

Oh and thanks for the response guys  :smiley:

95db seems a bit low, what rpm is that taken?  The track days I go on specify 100 Db dB(A) at 0.5 metres and at 3/4 maximum rpm.

Demon Tweeks also sell add on baffles to quieten down the exhaust specifically for track days and to meet noise regulatons.

im actually making up a new exhaust myself for the golf, its going to be almost straight through 2.5" pipe. i'm keeping the original backbox (cos its mint anyway) and i'll add the center box if neccessary, my plan is as little restriction as possible, but with a tolerable noise.

will post my progress on how it went...


ps, can someone set up a dub project page for me, i have one on edition38, but i want one on here too - busier/ better forum :D
