Resonator for non res Milltek?

[Bazgti]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to put a resonator or some kind of muffler on a non res milltek. Its a waaaay to loud when i get a heavy right foot.

Bought my Edition 30 milltek turbo back system n had it fitted at awesome today along with a stage 2. 1 word.... Epic!! But sounds like a raf tornad0!

''Yes'' you can mate. You just need a resonated section of the system. You can get it diresct from Milltek or they sometimes come up on here. Find it strange you find it loud tho?.When i had a non res on my last GTI i wanted it louder !!! .

I'd buy your non res section when you get your res section

..........i found it only just a bit louder than the factory system.

Definitely not a comparison but I have a non res on a diesel and it is just as quiet as the OEM system.  You can change out the non resonated pipe for a resonator as that section of the exhaust is one smaal piece. Will hunt around on my PC when I get home for pictures to explain it.

Mines an ed30 1 n it doesnt seem like its broken to sound that way. Drivin normal is fine n motorways its jus a light burble but as soon as toe it, it goes wild n my tyres feel the pain!

The very top part in this picture, the smallest pipe is the 'non-resonated' section of your exhaust. Quite easy to replace altho the mid box will probably be dearer than this pipe. Any videos to show us how loud your car is?

[Bazgti]

Well bugger me... I thought it was the back box that made the difference in sound. Not as yet but il get it recorded 2moro. Any preference on outside or in the car sound?
Somebody will av to gimme the low down on uploading it tho. Never done 1 before.

[dodds-gttdi]

Yeah the back box does have a lot to do with dampening the sound down but so does the middle box (resonator). I run this setup below for 3 months and it did make the exhaust note totally different. The setup was cat + mid-box + no backbox. I switched the milltek pictured above, so no cat, no midbox but a large backbox and it is much quieter.  



Sorry for all the picture hore-ing.

You also need to realise that the GTi non res is far quieter than the Eddie's due to the thickness of the Pipe from the turbo (k03 vs K04) that's what I discovered going from GTi to S3, couldn't believe how much louder the K04 was

I love my resonated  mated to a 3" downpipe it sounds sweeeeeeeeet

I have a resonated r32 style and accompanied with a map sounds awesome! I have a dsg so barp noise is amazing!! It sounds better now its been mapped! 

I would def recommend the resonated version if you don't want to piss the neighbours off in the morning!
