This Aftermarket Exhaust For The A90 Toyota Supra Is A Huge Improvement
Complain all you want about the A90 Toyota Supra’s BMW origins, but is there a better place to source a straight-six than Bayerische Motoren Werke? Surely not.
The problem is, the B58 is one of the least tuneful inline-six that BMW has ever built. Its petrol particulate filters don’t help, but other manufacturers of big six-cylinder engines have the same regulations to contend with and have come up with nicer-sounding exhausts, we’d counter.
Thankfully, the aftermarket is ready and waiting to provide solutions to the Supra’s disappointing soundtrack. One of the first companies to have a go is Milltek Sport, which revealed its A90 pipes at the Goodwood Festival of Speed recently.
This week the British firm uploaded a video of a Supra fitted with its newly designed exhaust, and my, what a difference it makes. As we can hear once people have stopped walking in front of the camera, it provides a deeper, throatier noise, accompanied by some wicked bangs. Much more like it.
Milltek’s additions consist of replacement silencers made from T304L stainless-steel, a petrol particulate filter delete and a pair of brushed titanium ‘GT-115’ trims for the tailpipes. It’s arrived so soon after the car’s launch because Toyota UK kindly gave Milltek early access to the A90.
A price hasn’t been revealed, but Milltek has said it’ll be available later this year.

Comments
it sounded better than the cayman anyway
Not much competition tho sound wise
Sounds promising
the really distinctive feature of past bimmers (other cars too) is that the sounds used to come from the engine, not the exhaust. it makes little difference to the people around, but it makes a lot of difference to the driver
