Default New Forge exhaust (from TT Stuff) vs miltek.... anyone?

It seems the two are no longer twins from what I could tell..

anyone know what the differences are?

what are the pipe diameters for the forge?
miltek hgh flow?

I sure noticed the price difference! not sure I like the bell shaped tips on the forge though

Default forge is ugly, milltek is stock beautiful.

no one has provided any proof of one making more power than the other. Im guessing they are all pretty much the same.

Default They are almost>>>>

identical in dimension and performance. The exception is the Tips and overall sound....I just put the High Flow Milltek in my car and LOVE it....for what its worth.

Both distributors offer fantastic service so really your decision will be sound and looks.

Milltek Hi-Flow, Non-resonated, 100 mm tips. That is all. (I *STILL* get lots'o good comments.)

inis case, the forge is hundreds less, which can be a factor for some.

Default The forge is plumbed completely different!!

miltek is like stock... goes in on the back center of the muffler like stock and exits out either side

the forge enters on the left (drivers) side of the muffler and then the two tips exit on the right side.

My guess is the Forge muffler is more of a high flow straight through design but who knows.

the tips arnt the best... but they can be changed!

Default I have the forge exhaust

My concern when I originally bought it was the tips - In the pictures I saw on Forge's site, I wasn't that thrilled with them. But, in person I changed my mind quickly. The fill the valence nicely, do not look ricey at all, and they look fabulous when cleaned.

As for the sound....

I've driven some cars with the Miltek, both the older and newer versions, and I definately prefer the sound of Forge. I would say performance is equal, but have no proof other than the butt dyno.

Default thanks Phil! hows the sound compare?

is it deeper, louder, more resonation? does it resonate at all at cruise speeds?

Any fitment or clearance issues? (ie ground clearance on a lowered car)

and do you know what size the pipe is that it uses?

thanks!!!!

oh and do you have pictures!

Default but you dont know how the plubing is done inside the milltek...

it could be exactly the same as stock, same as forge, or completely different... I dont think anyone has cut apart a Milltek highflo can.
