I've been looking into getting an exhaust, there's no doubt I'll end up with a milltek or mountune's.

Been researching sounds and different makes of exhaust on youtube, some of them sound insane but majority in my opinion just sound reaally deep and dull compared to the focus ST and RS.

In that respect some of them sound incredible, they have a symphony to them with a little roar in them, others just nothing other then a deep long thud with a pop at the end.


I haven't actually heard a after market exhaust in person yet, but can anyone assure me a Milltek FULL 4-1 system with manifold will give me the little roar and crackle-pop at the end?

Sounds nice on high rev's but low-mid revs sounds so dull i rather it was like the stock and didn't make a loud sound at all!

I'm all about power gains but i like to have character in the exhaust not like the bake bean tinnish exhausts or even the jap exhaust monotone exhaust.

Strange i say that considering previous car was a Celica haha but I could only hear my turbo and bangs after i stopped accelerating lol. (I still miss that bloody car! )

I've found that when I record the sound of my exhaust and play it back it hardly sounds anything like how it does 'in the flesh'. (Sorry, this isn't exactly helping you're decision is it?! )

I have a powerflow cat-back and milltek 4-1 manifold and I still get pops and bangs (not as many as pre-manifold though). Though I haven't got a de-cat/sports-cat...

I've got a video of when I just had full milltek fitted, decat, non res cat back and 4-1 manifold, if anyone can tell me how to upload on here if it will help you on your decisions.

But as someone said above, it really doesnt sound the same on the video, but you can get the overall sound
