miltek resonated or non-resonated

I am upgrading from APR stage II + to stage III.  Problem is that I have acquired everything but the exhaust system.  I've decided to go with miltek and don't know whether to go with the resonated or non-resonated setup.  The kid in me wants the non-resonated kit, but I am a daily driver and never go to the track.  There is no one in my area to whom I can listen to the differences of the the two systems.  First question is; will the car perform equally well in both setups? Second question is; how much louder is the non-resonated kit?  Will it put a hole in my head and draw unwanted attraction at lights.  With the setup I have now (downpipe only) the car is pretty loud but only at higher revs and the catback is stock.  All your feedback will be most welcome.  Thanks

Shamrock, I went resonated as I wanted it to sound stock and inside it does, has a harder edge when the windows down though ;-)

shamrock:
There is no difference in performance though between the two setups?

I've got the cat back non res on mine & glad i did.Sounds great & not like some chavy boy racer system. ''some say''  :grin: that the resonated system is not as loud as the factory orginal ?.

Non res FTW!!!

The resonated system will actually give you a quieter exhaust than stock. I have a non res on mine and i still find it to quiet :surprised:
