Miltek exhaust is too loud for my taste... how do I revert back?

[stu1gpx]

So I purchased I used Grenadier and the prior own had the non-resonating Miltek exhaust installed.
It is subjectively too loud for my taste.
Any ideas on how I can revert it back to the factory sound (or close to)?
The closest dealer is 3 hours away...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try buying the resonator. I believe they sound close to stock with it.

Or you could ask if anyone on here wants to swap their original exhaust with you.

I can understand where you are coming from on two counts.

1. Once purchased a Vance & Hines straight through slash cut exhaust for the Harley Davidson I had at the time. Loved the sound for very short periods, but could get very tiring when riding.

2. Had a courtesy, petrol powered Grenadier whilst my diesel powered Grenadier had its service. Loved the sound of the car from outside but got a bit tired of the drone that was produced inside the vehicle. I would definitely have needed to add some sound insulation.

Forget the dealer, go to a good exhaust company and get it swapped for a better performance exhaust, it will probably cost less than the OEM original as a spare anyway.
Then advertise the Miltek unit at a low price.

I’ve contemplated going to an exhaust shop and seeing if they had a completely silent option they could toss on it. The stock drones to much. Anything but a v8, and I really don’t want to hear it. They all sound like shit. Sporty exhausts just make it louder shit.

And I think the OEM exhaust is a bit too loud and hollow sounding especially off throttle when cold with pops and gurgles. I can only imagine the Milltek version without the resonator... Eeek! They sure sound sporty on YT video clips but in person it’s always somewhat different I would imagine.

To my ear at least having a sporty loud exhaust just doesn’t fit the character of the Grenadier. Quietly working your way up a trail in the mountains enjoying the scenery they some numpty chases up behind you sounding like Friday night street race takeover no thanks.
