I take it you are running Non res?


....Yes and no!

I'm running a custom Milltek: Very shallow back box like VWR's with hardly anything in it and therefore a minimal box around the centre section (normally called a Resonated version if this section has a box). The result is about the loudness of a Non-resonated system. All TBE and with ceramic coated tailpipes.

I'm based just outside Bognor Regis if you want a passnger ride in a resonated system.

I have 3 kids and the resonated is perfect for me, enough noise to sound sporty, but not too much to get on your tits. Had it on for 8000 miles and love it.  It is about my fourth milltek exhaust on various cars(I am a milltek dealer if you want a good price) and I've always gone resonated, bar the RS4, but I changed that after two days as it was too loud, resonated just works better for my situation. If I was youngr, no kids etc, no doubt I've have the non-res. 

I would strongly recommend you have a ride with both systems before you buy.

i got the resonated cat back with the intetion of getting the downpipe / cat now BUT i spoke to milltek today and they say fitting the cat/down pipe with out a re map can give me problems !!! it dont say that on milltek web site !!! :confused: :confused:
imo the resonated is too quiet for the sports driver , may have to get non res section and milltek can stick the cat up there **%$ !!!!!!!

Didn't you already run a thread on the dowpipe????  Im sure I'd mentioned it may need a map. Well worth doing as on an S3 you're looking at 330bhp plus!  What a weapon, and the doenpipe and cat helps the turbo spool up quicker!

You'll be fine then, just get the map done first.  I'm sure my stage 1 map was never tweaked for my full TBE.
