I've a full no res Milltek and it sounds completely different to a standard 1.8T Anniversary exhaust. Really beefy sound when you want it. It sounds absolutely immense in tunnels too.

Give it a good few miles and I'd say it'll start to change. I'll try get you a video of how mine sounds at the moment.
