reviews of Milltek exhaust GR STi?
Just looking for some reviews of the Milltek catback exhaust for the GR STi. The two main vendors who sell these exhausts are Mann Engineering and LIC motorsports. There are hardly any opinions/reviews of this exhaust online. I know its a quailty piece I am just try to see how people like them.

specifically I am curious how loud they are. I know they are on the quiet side but if I am spending a grand on an exhaust I want to know my money went somewhere instead of getting something that is just barely louder than the stock sti exhaust.

I'm looking for a good 3" turboback for my '12 STi that DOESN'T attract attention.
NO FART CANS!
I had a MadDad Whisper II on my old 04 WRX wagon and that was a great exhaust, but even that was a little loud for my tastes.
I highly respect the subie knowledge of Adam and Noah, at LIC Motorsports. They recommend and sell the Milltek.
I was really excited when I found out that one of the US distributers is located nearby.
I stopped by Mann Engineering and met with the owner Gary.
Nice clean shop and a Type 25 sitting next to his track subie.
He cranked up one of the STis that had the Milltek.
Man, that thing was quiet! Nearly as quiet as stock and it's a FULL 3". Not necked down to a 2.5" inside the muffler like some other 3" plumbing.
I'm sold. I WILL be getting one of these, right after I get some suspension stuff done first.

Very nice! I have the Milltek exhaust for my Audi A4 and its extremely quiet. Only time I hear a difference from stock is if I am standing behind it and the difference is in the tone.
