apologies if there is a conclusive thread on the above question...but i cant find it!
whats the general consensus on this?
i know peoples tastes are different - but what are the differences to the standard unit?
i'm looking for a cat back pipe which is only slightly louder than stock..the mrs will kick off if its loud!!
-
I have the resonated...
wish I had the non resonated :signLOL:
-
If you are looking at Milltek then you'll want the non-resonated cat back as it's a little louder than stock.
-
i have the non res cat back its not loud at all apparently the res one is quieter than standard !
-
its looking good for the non resonated so far.....!
phone numbers please.... if the wife notices she can phone you lot instead of bo**ocking me?! :mad:
-
I had the res on my ed30 and the only time it was louder than stock was when you booted it :grin:
-
Non res FTW!!! :jumpmove:
It really is a Jekal and Hyde. If your takin it easy it's nice and quiet, but when you floor it :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
-
i would have resonated lol
-
Definitely non-res.
Its not intrusively loud AT ALL. Only when you boot it, does it get loud - and even then its not chavvy at all! :driver:
-
I am still "Natalie Imbruglia" on the res vs. non-res, heart says non and head say res :confused:
It defiantly seams the non-res is louder on the ED30's than the GTI's (when comparing the likes of RR vs. Greenouse's for example)
-
have you thought about the APR exhaust
-
Milltek Resonated TBE .... just like standard but slightly louder when at higher revs booting it :happy2:
I haven't got one but have been out in one - and didn't remember he had the full TBE until he asked me what I thought !!
I would have one - and I hate loud exhausts for everyday cars. The only car I really enjoyed a straight through exhaust on was my TVR Griffith 500 .... now that was very loud but sounded :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: x100
-
non res for sure!!
-
I think 'EVEN' a Res system is perfect me. As it is quiet as a mouse, unless ust admit you unwrap the fury.
Must admit I LUUUUUURRRVVVVE mine.. :happy2: :happy2:

What are you doing up at this hour? :signLOL:
Anyone know what T88 OMM (?Tom) had on his yesterday. Couldn't hear anything at idle or normal cruise but I swear as soon as he booted it, ROOAARR!!!
-
have you thought about the APR exhaust
I had thought about it...is it any better / worse value & quality than the miltek?
-
to be honest they look better finished than the Milltek and are a similar price, its down to taste really, they do sound different, you really need to hear both

Yeah mine is a full non-res Milltek but it is a little louder than normal for some reason or other! I bloody love it, it sounds the dogs bollocks if I may say so myslef. I was unsure whether to go non-res or res but I know have definately made the right choice. NON-RES ALL THE WAY :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :happy2:

Mate, you've made a non-res convert outta me!
-
....
Does The Pope a bear sh!t in the woods!?
Non-Res!! :fighting:
-
NON Res, no brainer
-
it is becoming a no brainer really. i think even cruising on the motorway in toms car is no different to standard! but then when a porshce gets up his arse, all hell breaks loose!

I've just ordered the non resonated pipe, so will move from resonated to non resonated :D
Hopefully I'll be in for a bit more noise but still managable :)

Thats the spirit! :drinking:

Well we gotta keep the economy going eh lads? :)
Hopefully JKMs order books are buzzing with all the offers currently.

Keep your Resonated section, just in case you ever want to change back - Very doubtful you will, but..........
-
Non res on mine, i love it but still think the gti has one of the dullest sounding 2.0t engines out of the hot hatches :sad:
I know the astra vxr is a chavs hot hatch and i would never buy one but they do sound lovely with a milltek or remus and they pop and bang when you let off the loud pedal. A bit like a rally car but not as loud.
-
ok i know this is going to sound really stupid to you all be what is the RES and what does it does? :ashamed:

my scooby used to do that, spat flames aswell when you built up all the fumes and let it rumble down from 3k revs :drool:
-
i have gone for the non res on mine :)

^^^^
Here's a nice one!........
^ TVR ^
But Non-Resonated ain't quite so loud!
-

....The Milltek Resonated version has the middle section of the exhaust with a silencer box.
The Non-Resonated version has a straight through pipe in the middle section.
The two components are interchangeable.
:happy2:

Great video Robin, love the way the camera flies back when he floors it :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Didnt know u had a scooby joe, wich one did you have. Love the noise they make. Even my cooper s spat a flame on the dyno when it hit the limiter :evilgrin:
-
I don't know what it is with my exhaust but it seems to sound different than most! :jumpmove: If I let off the loud pedal after giving it the beans in second or third as soon it gets to about 3k it starts to pop, bang and grumble, anyone else had this? :rolleye:
-
I think you have mentioned it before Tom, it could be somethin to do with your custom map
-
Normally it is a sign of overfuelling and the fuel igniting in the exhaust.... not good for the Cat...
-
Anyone know what the difference in sound is like between resonated and stock exhausts?

The non-res one goes Waaaar.
The resonated goes Wooor. :signIWS:

....It's always very diificult to describe sound. The Milltek Resonated is just a bit louder and consequently brings out more of the sound's qualities - a tad deeper/growlier but it's all very subtle and only gets louder than stock as the revs climb.
Personally I find Resonated too close to stock in sound level. You can hear a mature Non-Resonated Milltek all the time inside the car but again not loudly until you use the loud pedal.
Neither are even vaguely 'boy-racer' or coarse sounding.
HTH :happy2:

Will my car ever sound like this clicky (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=J4P9VBG4IfY)? :grin: :grin: :grin:

That sounds very similar to my APR!
-
Yeah...APR is the best sounding one IMO. Shame I have a Diesel....will never sound good :sad:
-
^^^^
That clip isn't of an APR exhaust - I don't much like it to be brutally honest - sounds too 'metallic'.
What a sloppy driver!! One hand only on the wheel and in the worst position.
