I hated the sound of the revolution system and sold it a week after purchase, preferred my Miltek

I had the resonated one upto 507bhp on a 500bhp turbo... So didn't hold it back and restrict it in anyway

Very pricey though. Surely there is a next best option? I'm in a very similar dilemma. Cars just gone in for a lot of work one item of which is the exhaust. Jetex has been mentioned to me. Never heard anything on here about them. I really don't want to fork out for a non interchangeable zorst. Other serious contenders?

Miltek on mine , got lucky on a near new 2nd hand one . On the quiet side of exhausts , which both disapoints and pleases me at the same time ! Center cat removed and a resonater in its place.

Try Exhaustsuk too.... previously had their Cobra 3" centre and rear (trackday friendly) sections and worked on mine to some pretty decent figs.

On the Kakimoto systems like in pic are the bulges on the centre section Resonators??

Iv had two of their systems,a very loud non resonated & the track legal system & I'd highly recommend both. I got good prrformance on both, but for best results use a RCM downpipe.

Hayward and Scott, excellent systems Milltek are very good too but watch for quality issues, not common but it does happen and are normally very expensive.
If you want something different then the Tractive exhaust (pulse extraction system) could be on the books for you?

Yup, I had the RCM downpipe on pipe. Current set up is H&S but that was custom made specifically for mine given power level.
