resonated...or not??
« on: November 29, 2008, 02:32:36 pm »
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!!

If you are looking at Milltek then you'll want the non-resonated cat back as it's a little louder than stock.

I had the res on my ed30 and the only time it was louder than stock was when you booted it :grin:

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)

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

I think 'EVEN' a Res system is perfect me. As it is quiet as a mouse, unless ust admit you unwrap the fury.

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!!!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
