: Milltek manifold

Hello

I have just ordered a Milltek manifold for my 2006 MCS. The only mods I have on the car are a Milltek cat back and JCW intake. Really like the quality and sound of the exhaust.

My question is:
Will the car be stupidly boy racer loud after the manifold is fitted? I'm assuming that as I don't have lots of performance mods, that the manifold will add more to the nice tone and burbles I currently get.

It's what I'm hoping anyway

Cheers

I've got the same on mine, other mods include 15% pulley/Dave F hybrid air box,

I don't think it sounds boy racer loud, just quite purposeful :biggrin:

I'm a 53 year old grandad by the way :p, my 26 year old son doesn't think it's too loud either:wink:,

Here's a video of it going through our new 1.1 mile long tunnel here in Surrey, both windows open (sorry about the wind noise..)

Thanks for that, sounds great!

Do you know if it is difficult to fit? The garage doing it won't give me the hours required estimate until they get it on a ramp to see what the access is like for fitting

No probs :)

Not sure to be honest, mine was already fitted to the car when i bought it.
