Default Milltek R8 Exhaust At SEMA Show

Milltek in the UK has completed prototype development and testing on their first series R8 Exhaust system and a production version has been fitted to my R8 which will be a feature vehicle at the up coming SEMA Show Oct 28 - Nov 2 in Las Vegas. Pete and the crew from Stratmosphere in the US made all the required arrangements and facilitated the air freight to and installation at my Audi dealer. The sound is nothing short of AWESOME. The Milltek system fitted to my R8 is a non-resonated, non-valved design. The second series of this exhaust will offered with factory valves and also a resonated version. More to come when I get the opportunity to drive my R8 after SEMA.

Any pics, movie or sound file of the exhaust.
Is it a quat or a double oval.

Won't have photos or sound clips until after SEMA, just not enough time. Quad stock tips.

Default Why would they use stock tips? Will they offer alternate tips in the future?

Using stock tips partly defeats the purpose of having aftermarket exhaust, no?

That question would be best asked of Milltek or Stratmosphere......

Default Because the R8 uses decorative faux tips...

They are incorporated in the bumper cover and not attached to the exhaust.

i'd prefer the stock tip over aftermarket tip. exhaust is for sound while i want to maintain the stock look. i for one don't like the Milltek system on the RS4 because the way it looks. although it sounds pretty sweet.

Liam is correct, but some custom tips options are coming later this year.
