Milltek Resonated or Non-Resonated
« on: June 15, 2011, 03:57:39 pm »
Dilema....

How load is the non-resonated Milltek for the GTI. I had one of my old MkIV R32 and it suffered some cabin "boom" at certain RPM. Does the MkV GTI suffer the same problems? If considered too noisy (I like noise but the mrs and kids don't!) then I guess it's best to go resonated.... but is this actually any louder than stock?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

I prefer the resonated as the non-res droned a little (my car had full decat) others will prefer the non-res and dont get any drone, tricky decision.

You can always go non- res then buy a resonated centre section if required.

Think I might go for non-res, as it's cheaper, and like PDT says I can always pay to swap it over if it's a little too loud. Nothing will be too loud for me, but it's the rest of the family who might complain, but if the do that I might just tell them to get in the Mrs' TDI instead!

I had the cat back non res on my last GTI & glad i went non res. Those that have the res version say it's not as loud as the factory orginal. :smiley:

That was another worry of mine, I certainly don't want it any quieter :smiley:

Non-res it is then!!
