Milltek Exhaust for FL5 - installed review, photos, video sound clip

[elusiveaura]

Yes it does. They’re also working on a module that I’ll be testing at end of week that will allow push button opening and closing of the valve manually.

Does it keep the valve operation?

Right now it auto opens and closes in all modes depending on drive mode and how hard you get on it. End of the week I will be testing their module that allows the driver to manually open and close it at will. If you wanna keep it open all the time, you’ll be able to

Was valve close : comfort mode / valve open : +R?

Which method did you guys use to manually adjust active valve system?

I had the Milltek non-resonated exhaust on my FK8, along with the PRL catted DP, and it was very loud. It was difficult to have conversations in the car or talk on the phone, but otherwise it was freakin' awesome.

If I ever get the FL5, I would consider getting Milltek again. The non-resonated sound clips inside the FL5 don't sound horrible. Maybe the valve helps with that too.

I can’t comment on how it was for the fk8 since I owned AWE but I will say they must’ve changed up something for the FL5 because even at cruising speeds 70-80, it’s not loud in the cabin and can still talk to passengers. I can’t comment on anyone in back seat though which I imagine is probably a little louder

The majority of the loud sound to me is coming from speed up and shifting from lower gears and when really getting on it. I’m still surprised I haven’t heard any drone. They did a wonderful job with this one.

I'll be testing out the resonated system with the PRL HVDP as soon as Milltek can get one on this side of the pond for me. Fingers crossed that it's before Wake the Dragon!

Interested in how it sounds with that downpipe! Report back here please when you do.

Me too! It's a roll of the dice but that's what R&D is for right?

Ask me how well a bigger drop in turbo worked with the factory tune...

(actually please don't )
