Milltek or Stock Exhaust?

Hi All,

I'm starting my search for a 110 V8 Carpathian Edition to replace my 110 D250 X-Dynamic HSE (which has been amazing over the past 3½ years and 43,000 miles)

but I'm keen to know if the Milltek exhaust system is worth having

I know it's all subjective and very personal but it does appear to sound great and better than the stock system however, can you drive it in a more sedate "normal" mode?

I think the stock exhaust only get better when you put it in dynamic mode, does the same apply to the Milltek system or is just louder and then very loud in Dynamic mode

Any advice appreciated, other than those on economy

Cheers,

Just ordered the V8 myself and waiting to collect it in the next day or 2

I’ve looked at the quick Silver and Miltek, from what I can gather you have fitted a control button/activation (phone app) which will operate the valves in the exhaust, closed neighbour friendly, open

I’ve now got mine

The stock exhaust is good but looking at the YouTube vids an after market would be a great upgrade!

I haven’t heard the Quicksilver but my neighbour has the Miltek and it sounds great. The welding also looks superb. WARNING.

Cheers Zed, i have read on the grapevine that the Miltek is a better sound but also not so good on quality? the Quick silver has some nice looking carbon tips

Nice. I think Miltek also have the carbon option but he went for titanium instead. WARNING.

I have a Milltek on a 90 Carpathian Its a great sounding exhaust but I would strongly suggest you get it fitted with a authorized dealer for the warranty as I'm on my 3rd silencer due to the something coming adrift inside and rattling
