GIAC Tuned Edition 30

[Hurdy]

Yes,they are 80mm each

Great. That is what I was hoping you'd say. Same as the Milltek then

[Peskarik]

I wish they were 90mm, so they fill in the cut-out fully (but do not protrude as much as on RedRobin's GTI)

[wolfbane1967]

Theres not room for 90mm,trust me it looks big in real,and its hard to wash as it is in 80mm

Oi Wolfbane when did you steal my car?

How does your non-res milltek sound K1? A full Milltek system is my first mod but I dont know whether to get res or non-res. I think the ED30 sounds great standard and would sound even better amplified but I dont want it to sound like a kitted up Nova.

Get the Non-res catback, not loud at all. Gives it a deeper note, no droning whatsoever. Was told not to get resonated cat back as it could be even quieter than stock.
I'm thinking of fitting a downpipe and high flow Cat to it.
Definitely get the Non-res, whilst stock sounds nice outside, i don't think it sounds so good inside.

....Although mine is a GTI rather than an Ed30, I can tell you that the differences between standard, res, and non-res. are very subtle. You only really hear the differences when using the revs. Inside the cabin you can hear the non-res with the windows closed but it's not obtrusive and I personally don't like to drive any vehicle in which I can't hear what the engine is doing. None of the Millteks are at all boy-racer. You can swop the centre section between res and non-res on a ramp or pit.

If you are someone who likes listening to classical music while driving, I'd go for the res version if at all. But your post suggests you like the sound of a sporty exhaust like most enthusiasts! The non-res Milltek certainly makes a 4-pot sound as good as it gets. The stainless steel pipes mature too - 40k miles on mine now.

Thanks RR thats what I wanted to hear, non-res it is

....Be aware that some of us have reported a period in the early stages of slight droning at about 3,200 revs but after a few weeks of this it all coked up nicely and settled.

There'll be subtle sound differences between DSG and Manual cars too. It's all very good!

This is what an Edition 30 would sound like with a full non res Milltek with a 3" downpipe and a Carbonio - No remap.
