APR RSC v Milltek TBE Res

(1/6) > >>

SO8:
I know this subject has been done quite a bit and got a bit heated at times over exhausts but which do people think is going to be louder for day to day use ....

APR RSC TBE or Milltek Resonated TBE on a remapped Edition 30 DSG ?

Not interested in discussing build or cost .... just the sound side of things that interests me.

I know ultimately listening is the answer ..... and am going to listen to an APR exhaust at Tuningwerkes in Croydon when I can hopefully soon... and have been out in a resonated Milltek equipped Ed30 about a year ago.

As I favour little change from standard - which I know is kind of Milltek resonated territory - am i wasting time listening to the APR as it will be too loud and more like a non res Milltek ..... or is it worth a go  :laugh:

Where are you located? You can come out in mine if you want?

The Milltek sounds a lot more OEM, the APR is very quiet inside the car, but it is much louder from the outside of the car! On idle and at a 70mph cruise the APR is quieter than stock.

To be honest, the APR is quite 'distinctive', whereas the Milltek is more 'subtle' sounding - if that makes sense.

prepree:
I was wondering the same until i went out with chis ^^^ my mind was made up there and then.

Like you said best to hear both before you invest but for me the rasp of the APR was just awesome

APR - FTW

Robin is a good guy to talk about millys :happy2:

I'm in Ascot, although I'm more than happy to meet you somewhere in the middle of us/nearer to you if you want. Reuben at TW is an excellent guy  :smiley: :smiley:
