Non-res millteks on all models have boom at 2-3k revs which can get annoying especially under load.
I'd go Res every time.

They are both the same volume @ WOT.

Non Res is the only way to go. I don't know If the Saloon is insulated differently from the Avant, but I can barely hear mine until I reach 80mph. At which point it just starts to sound sweet. Step on it, and it Roars. I get absolutely no drone below 80mph. And at speeds above 80mph you won't be worried about drone, you will be concentrating on the road I hope. I know I would have been disappointed had I bought the Resonated version. Remember these are RS6's, Super cars to be seen and definitely heard.........................
03 RS6 Saloon. Full Catless Milltek (Roars). ViperTune ECU. MTM(soon to be Viper) TCU. H&R Coilovers. Hotchkiss ARB's. 19X10" Wheels with 275-30-19" Rubber at each corner. V1 Radar Locator.
