milltek resonated or not?

[andykram]

A new exhaust is on the agenda is on my agenda too. Forgive my ignorance but could some kind soul please explain what the difference is between resonated and non resonated? I can gather from this thread that the non resonated one is the louder one but I would like to know what the physical difference is.
Personally, when I replace my standard one I would like it louder than standard (without it being boy racer standard) so why do I need the non resonated one?

Andy the difference between res and non res,
The exhaust comes in sections, resonanated has a silencer box midway down the exhaust, the non res has a straight through piece of pipe instead,

The non res does NOT sound boy racer.

The non res does NOT sound boy racer.

+1, the non res Milltek is one of the best mods ive done, love it!

seen your wheels on ebay.

you live not far from me as it happens!


thanks for the opinions. i think if/when i go for a new exhaust it will be the non res with the slash cut tail pipes.

car only has 300 miles on it so will wait till its run in a bit before i do any mods

So non res for me then.

Does it sound appreciably more juicy than standard then?
