I've got one...............it's quiet..............honest  :happy2:

Very slight burble (nothing like a Impreza) that wasn't there when in high gears at about 1500 - 2000 revs but nothing else. Quite like the burble anyway  :smiley:

I've got one of these on my Eddy.

Dunno if it's the Milltek downpipe combined with the Catback, but mine is very quiet - but quite purposeful on tickover and sounds definitely better than standard.

However when on 'full beans' there's a definite roar from the rear, it suits me that the only time it's roaring a bit is on full throttle. That's exactly what I wanted.

So it's slightly louder then oem

I would say the resonated is quieter than OEM.

I had non res and it was not much louder.

Now Res with Decat would be perfect I think :innocent:

Well yes only on full throttle it is louder I've found, but for pulling up outside your house it's as quiet if not quieter than OEM.

Suppose however if you pull up like Ken Block then you may wake the neighbours, but only when pedal is on the floor.

It sounds nothing like a young lad in his Corsa outside Halfords..
