Milltek louder when warm?

VRSPhil · 20-06-2007, 22:07

I'm sure my milltek is louder when it's warm (after 10 minutes or so). Am I going mad?

fatty5000 · 20-06-2007, 22:13

Could be something to do with heat expansion (maybe)
or you are going mad

**mannyo** · 20-06-2007, 22:16

The miltek I had on my old vRS expanded quiet a bit when it was hot, so yes its possible the expansion is causing the louder soundtrack.

fatty5000 · 20-06-2007, 22:23

Hey i'm a thermo engineer or something now.......who-hoo

vRS_Si · 21-06-2007, 12:07

Yep, sounds right to me, my Blueflame is louder after a 30 minute or so run.

I would have thought the opposite was true. Listening to a loud soundtrack for a prolonged period is likely to cause deafness. Therefore, the longer the listening period the quieter the exhaust note appears.

It certainly is

SWMBO has put her foot down and ordered me to remove it, I'm not impressed having spent ages (and £) sorting the adaptor to make it fit! It's barely any louder than standard when it's cold but once warm it has quite a deep note on idle which apparently she can't live with, so it's back to the drawing board

Oh dear sad to hear it. Will it be a standard one for the foreseeable or are you after another stainless?

VRSPhil · 24-06-2007, 00:55

I think Milltek are about the closest to standard (sound wise) you can get so it looks like I'm stuck with standard

pants1984 · 24-06-2007, 14:12

Does a CAT back give any sort of power increase with a standard CAT and downpipe still in place?

vRSLen · 24-06-2007, 16:45

Buy her an ipod

VRSPhil · 24-06-2007, 17:18

Or a gag

mattbeef · 24-06-2007, 18:43

just forget to take it off

Steevie Wonder · 26-06-2007, 11:28

Just stay that because the Milltek is different, the old system had to be 'cut off', and it would be very expensive to re-fit as it would need a new standard system due to where the cut was made!

Worth a try

Ender · 26-06-2007, 23:34

So she puts up with ur car being coverd in stickers and standing out like a sore thumb but not a little louder zorst
