resonated vs non resonated Milltek noise

[Nor]

Recently bought a 2009 GTI and it has a full Milltek exhaust. Don't know if it's resonated or non-resonated as yet, but it is pretty loud when the foot is down. Is there an easy way to tell? Also, can you switch from either to the other by switching a section?

Cheers!

the resonated versions has 2 silencers / mufflers. The non res only has one, so just look under you car and see 

Cheers, just has 1 by the looks of it!

I've got a 3inch turbo back (no cat), resonated. It's bloody loud inside the car, but when I hear it drive away it's quieter??!?!

In second gear, on run down I can hear faint burble pops. I'm sure if I had a non res system they'd be much louder.

I've got a full turbo back milltek non resonated on mine and find it awesome, might be a slight drone on low revs etc, but i kind of like it and doesnt bother me!
Also sounds awesome!!

Mine is resonated and seems to be loud (more drone than exhaust loud) at about 1.5 - 2 and then 3 - 3.5 k rpm. For me this is good as I can modulate the noise level of the car and can down swift into the 'noisy' parts of the range when I want to or keep it quiet at other times. Also it makes the cold start cycle sound really nice and then it drops very quiet as it settles down.

Powervalve is the way to go - 2 exhausts for the price of one...

powervalve looks awesome! looks expensive though! I have a milltek Race catback, which originally was resonated, so it has the 2 small resonators near each tail pipe, and the centre section is deleted, when I say it's loud... it constantly drones and is so boomy people get headaches haha...gonna have to resonate it

you should never remove the middle section on the 3" milltek, always remove the 2 small end ones if you gonna do a delete. The mid silencer is the one that takes all the boom away.
