Here is a link to their site and they have several sound clip videos, with different exhaust options:

Are you referring to Mihok's S5?

I have a 2007 RS4 with Miltek cat back. The previous owner had the down pipes and high flow cat as well but traded for stock down pipes and cat because he found the resonation sound in the car annoying. There is still a little resonation at low rpm with the cat back exhaust that I have become used to. I was thinking of going back to the high flow cat but I was wondering if any one else had a similar experience with an annoying resonation sound? Has anyone dynoed their car before and after to see what the horsepower gains are with the high flow cat and down pipes?

I had a Milltek (non-resonated) briefly on the cab. I thought the drone with the stock downpipes/cats was horrible. I cannot imagine it with high flow cats. I am not sure the little (probably imperceptible) gains from the high flow cats are worth it.

Rag tops tend to be worse about that whole droning business. I'll bet is sounded amazing topless though, no?

The exhaust is definitely louder with the top down. But the tubi is unmatched. It was swapped over in days and I near to gave away the Milltek.

Did the Milltek drone go away with the top down?

Miltek cat back with down pipes is reporting a 30 hp increase, AWE is reportting a 11 hp increase on their own Mustang AWD dyno. I can't find any claims for the Tubi. Does anyone have any personal dyno reports on their cars before and after down pipe and cat back replacements? How is the resonance and droning with AWE and Tubi or manufacturers other than Miltak?
