Default Best DPs mated to a Milltek Cat-Back?

I just picked up my S4 which has the Milltek exhaust with stock DPs. Any suggestions on good DPs? Should I just stick with Milltek's?

My other option was looking into a full exhaist from F.I. as I really like the sound.

Default I have a Milltek full exhaust., I've had many compliments at home and at track events...

about how deep and throaty it sounds. Even had an S5er come up to me to tell me how great it sounded.

Default I had Milltek DP's, car sounded great but BOTH cats recently died after only 1.5 years on the car

I had a CEL and just took them off this week. Both cores are a mess. I had them on for 18 months and about 22k miles. I put the stock back on and the CEL went away. Yes, I cleared the CEL while the Milltek DP's were still on the car at least 20 times and it always came back the next day. This was after 1.5 years with Milltek full exhaust with no CEL. Anyway, I have been CEL free for a 4 days now since the DP's are off the car. I supposedly own the updated Milltek DPs where the problems with premature cat failures were solved. I don't think I will ever buy a Milltek product again. I have yet to call Stratmosphere to see what they have to say about it.

Default Stratmosphere is a premier supplier and should have a solution for you.

It's in their best interest as a vendor well as our welfare as the customer. )

Default I've been very happy with Miltek, is CEL how you knew there was a problem?

I've had my catbacks for about 4 years with 30k on them, no issues. I also have downpipes from Miltek for 3.5 years, 25k, no issues.
