JonC Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wanted to spend some cash on my GTI (without going down the re-mapping/chipping route) and seriously considering a Milltek resonated catback as I definately don't fancy the motorway drone scenario that the non-resonated tends to produce. Does anyone have any thoughts/experience on the resonated catback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I started off with a Milltek Cat-back but it was Non-Resonated (I now have Turbo-back aka Hi-flow+Downpipe). I also drove Non-Res and Res back to back and can report that the sound difference isn't major. All Milltek exhausts can take about 1,000 miles or so to fully mature. Mine doesn't drone at all now but you can hear it all the time which is what I want. Throttle response will be slightly improved but you won't experience any significant power increase until you remap etc. If you are thinking of remapping sometime in the future it would be cheaper to buy the Turbo-back version now. Be warned!! - Slippery Slope of modding - I started with a Milltek Cat-back Look what's happened to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Know what you mean about the slippery slope. Can feel my self slipping. Have strong tread at present but after time, who knows how far I will slip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only available in black. Most people would prefer them colour coded but I don't mind - I'd rather have them black than none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
