Default Milltek or Mina Exhaust?

Hello!

I'm looking for feedback on Milltek and Mina Exhaust for my XKR. I did post on the XKR Forum but with no response so thought I'd post here. Just seeing how much louder during WOT and also during idle. Also, is there any resonance or droning during highway speeds. Which one do you prefer and is there any soundclips. Lastely, where to purchase Milltek or Mina in the U.S. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks....just want alittle more growl throughout the rev band and maybe slightly larger quad tips. Also, seeing which catback system sounds better with no droning and any HP gain would be a plus.

i put mina on my 03 str. great sound, ineed to get a clip on here. Its very quiet but with a deep bass note at idle but comes to life when going through the rpms. At highway speeds i dont really notice it consideringim around2xxx+- rpms at80great for around town gets some attention if thats what your into.

Thanks styper526. Are the tips slightly larger than OEM and where did you purchase the Mina. If you have a sound clip down the road please post. Thanks!

I too have the Mina Gallery exhaust on my 2003 Jaguar STR. It is rather quiet below 2500 rpms, but sounds great at WOT. The tips are larger than stock for the STRs. I purchased the exhaust from jaguarxp.com.

Thanks 03JagSTR for the info. Actually the link above is for the pre '07 model but I found the one for the '07+. Thanks for the link though!

Anyone with Milltek to compare? Thanks.

Thanks for the pics. The tips looks great. I might just go with Mina as it's 1/2 the price as the Milltek. I found a sound clip of the Milltek...I know it's a different motor and carbut just seeing if the Mina sounds anything like this in your S Type? If so I'm definately going with Mina and save the $$$.
