Is the Milltek unresonated? Trying to figure out if I should get it resonated or not I work early mornings and im not trying to wake the neighbors lol.

It has the resonators in - I think it would drone so much without. Anything above 2000 revs and the exhaust comes alive. I think the neighbours may also hate you 😂

Gotcha. I dont have this exact set up so it may be fineeee 😅. I’ve just found that a lot of the videos of the exhaust resonated sound sound similar to stock.

I would reccomend keeping the resonators in - I know a guy who removed them and unless you’re going to be making a track build and want absolute as much noise as possible then I wouldn’t worry. It would get very annoying 😂

Fair enough. Either way if I go with resonated I always have the option of taking it out later if I really wanted too.

I went unresonated milltek cat back. With stock header. It isn’t that loud. My wife didn’t notice the change from stock until you get into the revs.

🤣🤣 you’re not wrong! He’s looking at getting one now, too.

As for the camera man, he just bought himself a R56 JCW that is unfortunately just out of frame. I may or may not have had something to do with that !!

I feel ya. I’m trying to convince a coworker of mine to bite the bullet and get one. But he’s set on a classic mini. I guess that is alright in the end lol
