Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not much difference really, most people go for Berks so I keep plenty on stock They are £380 at the moment but due a slight increase in new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Go for Berks. The are the same pretty much but Berks have the better name and will be easier to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Would be inclined to go for Invidia myself seeing as you have the rest of the system unless there like twice the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've recently had a full Miltek exhaust system fitted and an UpRev carried.would HFCs be a next logical step? I presume a couple of more ponies released (I have a HighRev 2006 Zed) and some alteration on exhaust note (good extra noise or bad?).

I find the Miltek quite subdued - although Mark was a little surprised and asked me to give it a few hundred miles to "mature" which am more than happy to do. Always a hard balance between something that has a "bit of purpose" vs something that "makes your ears bleed"! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Your right, Miltek is really quiet. It cries out for HFCs or Decats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is sound like on motorway/fast road cruise? I like to be able to converse with anyone unlucky enough to be in passenger seat without having to shout!

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's fine in cab They generally kick in at 3-3.5k revs and give an extra ROAR !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds (excuse the pun) like it is heading in the right direction esp if OK in cabin. What is tickover like? David I really need to find similar set up and listen don't I!

DannyBoy Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have the Milltek and Berks combo, and it can be pretty boomy below about 2k rpm if you put your foot in it. Just seems to be a small band of resonance, because at 2.5k rpm for motorway cruising you wouldn't even know you had an aftermarket system, and why would you put your foot in it at 2k rpm anyway? You're right about needing to listen to one as well. YouTube clips never really sound anything like the real thing IMO , but if you let us know where abouts you are someone may be willing to give you a ride so you can listen for yourself.

MITZ@CougarStore Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 David, we have a used Milltek in stock, it's only covered about 2500 miles, we took it off a members car before he sold his Zed, so if you're interested then please let me know and I'll put you in touch with the member...

Thanks for suggestion, but I already have a Miltek fitted, it us just a question of letting it "mature" for a little while and decide if I want Berks to give it some stronger sounds.

Always a hard balance between something that has a "bit of purpose" vs something that "makes your ears bleed"! David David, I would go for the Motordyne lower collector and plenum spacer 1st. This will help with the mod range torque what the REV UP motor lacks off, the Cats really only hold the car back @ the top end where exhaust flow is needed.

Will give Scott a call in NY for an appointment! As you suggested will let the Miltek run for a little while and see how sounds alter and we can discuss but am tempted by HFCs...!
