NeilMH Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have listened to what videos I can find and read the postings and I like this combo. I am aware of the rasp at around 4,000 rpm when using fairly full throttle and I have no issue with that. There seems also to be some popping on the overrun - is that a normal feature? I do realise that the best bet would be to get to a meet and hear it for real but for various reasons I am struggling with that at present.

DannyBoy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I've never noticed any popping on overrun but i know what you mean, in some videos you can hear it. I would say that i've yet to hear a single video that actually sounds like it does in real life, they never seem to do an exhaust note justice, mostly because they're all revving at a standstill with no load on the engine. Find someone near you with the combo on their car and have a listen in the flesh DB Edit: just noticed you're only about half an hour round the M25 from me, happy to oblige if you want to hear it for real.

coldel Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 It was my vid popping, bear in mind it had all been bolted on literally 30 mins beforehand, so barely time to settle. Dont notice any popping now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilMH Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks very much DannyBoy, Coldel and glrnet, including the kind offers Also it's interesting to hear that the popping reduced or disappeared after settling in. It doesn't sound like it's an issue. It's just that in previous lives I've had 2 cars with Crossflows, 2 twin choke Webers, competition exhausts and all that. When you back of of one of those combos it's like the 1812 Overture with the accompanying fireworks. So in a way I've been there and done that - I'm obviously getting older! So I guess I'm after a compromise that suits the 350z - a bit more noise - but a sophisticated one! Everything I have read so far suggests that this may well be the combo for me. I think the answer is definitely to hear one in the flesh. Unfortunately, due to a recent family bereavement and me being an executor I have my hands a bit tied at present but hope to be able to take up one of your offers in the not too distant future.

Will370z Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you want to hear what the combo sounds like on a roadster just give me a shout. Not too far away and it will be different in the roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think we should all head for Neils place and give him a Milltek & Berks symphony My Berks were 2nd hand and I have had them on for about 16 months and 15k+ and never heard any popping When you hear it in the flesh you will agree it is the perfect, sporty but discreet tone for the car, suits it perfectly and also I think looks great with the rounded tips and mesh combo.... You will always get the K1/decat chav brigade saying its too quiet and for old gits well some of us don't want to scare the living crap out of old grannies as we cruise down the high street at 20mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
