Milltek Res TBE query

[Rob GTI]

Will the Res TBE still give the same burbly tickover and low revs bassiness (wow just invented a word!) as the standard system does? Don't want to go Non res as I don't want the boominess (another new word?) on mway's.

Anyone comment whos gone from standard to the above combo on a ED30?

Cheers.

Yes, I have it and it sounds just perfect.

If you can, you should go to a tuner/meet up with someone on here to listen to both the res and non-res individually. There's a fair few people on here who have gone for the Res, and sold it at a later point for the non-res, and vice versa!

I went for the resonated exhaust based on the fact that there can be an obtrusive amount of noise inside the cabin at certain motorway speeds/revs...  and as I do a fair amount of motorway miles with the missus and kids - it was a no brainer.

Sound wise I am very pleased with the resonated exhaust.  It's not "wide-boy" loud...but gives a meaningful and deep burble when idling and equally sounds the business when ripping it down the road...

I had the resonated version, then swapped the pipe for a non resonated version.
Much better in my opinion, the resonated was too muted.

imo the res is almost like standard, non res all the way!! I dont get any boom'iness' on the motorway?

[Rob GTI]

Thanks for the replies guys, I've sampled a Non Res TBE on a K04 Cupra (CarrG on here) and that was too loud for me, so hoping the Non-res will be somewhere in the middle. What I like about the standard system is that burble you get at low revs / idle, hopefully that is replicated and made better with the Milltek.

Non res all the way mate,  have just had 1 fitted and its not loud at all on the motorway very pleased with it.

It's very, very subjective - Some much prefer Resonated and others Non-Resonated. Neither are at all 'boy-racer' in sound. I've had various Milltek systems on my GTI and only got slight boominess on my first a few years ago and only if holding the same revs and the problem disappeared after a thousand miles - No such issues since.

You know how it is things come up and besides I wanted to get other things done first like REVO and RNS510 so this is next on the list!
