Some people say they are quite and the welds are sh*t but some people say they are the best, must just been personal preference to those that have had a bad experience.

Hopefully getting bizz's old system  :grin:

I had a Milly resonated turbo back system with sportscat on my old GTI and it was exactly the same as the standard exhaust
No increase in cabin noise or exhaust note  just better breathing - if I wanted it a little more sporty I could have removed the resonator box but I didnt bother

This time round I will either go for a BCS system or a EuroJet for a louder tone

i just fitted a resonated Milltek, and like others have said it sounds pretty much no different to standard, apart from the bigger pipes at the back you wouldn't know. For me that is great as its exactly what i wanted, but others may want more noise

Do you think that a non res would be louder?

I have a non res and the noise is awesome. It doesn't really drone or anything either as it's only really loud on boost.

If you want noise you should really find someone with a EuroJet decat exhaust
They sound pretty epic - flames out the back with pops and bangs

Would it not do that with a decat anyway?

If not I think I'll be pretty disappointed haha

Yes Non Res would def be louder, from what i understand the difference between the two is the middle box, the res has one, the non res just a though pipe. I really like mine being quiet, but thats just me. No doubt the louder systems would sound great.
