Milltek* is debuting high-performance exhausts for BMW and Porsche Hybrids at the Goodwood Festival of Speed now underway. Both exhausts for the BMW and Porsche fit after the standard particulate filter. Therefore, there is no change to their official emissions certification numbers.

“The new hybrid exhaust systems engineered for the BMW M5 G90 4.4-litre V8 plug-in hybrid and Porsche 992.2 Carerra 3.6-litre hybrid join a growing catalogue of Milltek exhaust systems for modern classics as well as current Porsche and BMW models,” Milltek said.
The new Milltek exhaust for the BMW M5 G90 PHEV, is rated by Milltek at a total power output of 727 horsepower. There is a non-resonated particulate filter back system “providing enhanced sound and a bigger difference between valves open and closed. Milltek valve technology works with the existing valve control with the option of a Milltek valve controller to allow the driver to override factory settings. It is available now for UK and USA versions (and the rest of the world) and also suitable for the G99 Touring model with a choice of polished stainless, cerakote black, brushed titanium or burnt titanium exhaust trims.
Milltek’s engineers have also developed OPF/GPF back system for the 478 horsepower Porsche 992.2 GTS Hybrid. This is currently a prototype, but production is expected to start soon.

Founded in the UK in 1983 by a “true car enthusiast,” Milltek says “it has grown to become a global, leading manufacturer of performance exhaust systems for a continually expanding range of vehicles.” With headquarters in Derby, UK, a development and testing center near Germany’s Nürburgring race circuit, and a recently opened USA facility in Tennessee, Milltek says it “designs, develops and tests its range of exhaust systems in-house using state of the art equipment.
“Milltek caters for the latest range of performance and premium vehicles, whilst staying true to their roots with an OEM+ range of systems for a wide range of heroes from the ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s.
“MLTK by Milltek provides a range of bespoke [custom in ‘Merican- AutoCrat] engineered and styling products for overland and performance cars. All MLTK products are designed and manufactured in-house at Milltek’s HQ in Derbyshire using same engineering expertise as its performance exhausts,” the aftermarket performance company said.
