Resonated Blueflame  :happy2:
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Mile-muncher ordered: MkVI 1.6 TDi BlueMotion Match DSG with leather, winter pack, luxury pack, fogs, climate control, Dynaudio pack, RCD510 with DAB & MDI, flat tyre indicator

Milltek, Blueflame, and APR are the favourites.

I'm a Milltek fan boy - Custom quads on a R32 rear'd GTI.

He specifically stated that he doesn't want something that drones...  :wink:

....Hmm, I'm not sure how good any aftersales service will be if you buy off ebay. Best to buy either direct or from an approved Milltek dealer.

Resonated is quieter than Non-Resonated.. Millteks have been known to drone in the past.. The black tips in my pic aren't standard but can be ordered: Ceramic coated black satin and extremely practical needing minimal cleaning.

Sound is very subjective so check them all out. APR and Blueflame sound very sporty but harsher than the more sophisticated Milltek sound in my opinion. Depends what you prefer - They're all good.

Thanks Robin think i'll go for a milltek. Will have a look upto Revolution in Newcastle tomorrow se what they can do for me. Think ill get non res as well. Had a milltk on the clio (182) and liked it till i took the cat off, sounded nice but over longer trips it gets on ya t*ts.
BTW your car looks loooovley, as do many others on this site spending quite a lot of time reading some very interesting threads.

Thanks.  :happy2:

massively subjective, the GTI will be going resonated as needs to remain the sensible family car
