Actually Hmmmmmm I was wondering that? That's a very valid point, does anyone know? Is yours an avant?

No, Its a saloon. Unfortunately no Avant's ever made it over here to the US. My next step is to go Cat less with downpipes like you did. I definitely like the way yours sounds..........................

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.........................

Hmm, this isn't helping - I'm completely undecided now! :D

I guess I need to experience a non res to decide.

Does anyone live near Tring that wouldn't mind me coming to have a listen?

Cheers,

Mart.

I owned a saloon with a resonated Milltek for 3 years.

There were times when I didn't want to play the hooligan just sit back

and listen to music,cruise control on and enjoy the 'other' side of the RS6 -

it's comfort and refinement.At legal motorway speeds the exhaust could

hardly be heard and was not intrusive whatsoever.Any noisier however

and it would have become tiresome IMO.

+1.

I'm still sitting on the fence on this one.

And I don't know that 10bhp extra would be very noticeable?

its not the hp gains from the milltek, its the gains you get in turbo spool over a standard car. fully decatted with 3" Dp's and you notice it..... Ask Reg!!
It's all Bollox.
Half of what you read is bull and the other half is all <beep>.

Exactly! Which is why I don't understand why people bang on about replacing the back half of the system without sorting the front part out first/as well!!

What's more, to really capitalise on the liberated turbo, you need a good remap tuned to your car.

That way you get performance - not just boy-racer noise!

I've decided to go for the Non-Res and if it's too loud, I can always buy a Res centre separately. Which works out about 150 quid more than the Res system would have been in the first place. I plan to do catless DPs too anyway, so that will remove any boominess hopefully.

Cheers,

Mart.

Excellent 8) you will love the result if you go catless I promise you :) I personally think the fact there are no cats on the down pipes might be the reason for no drone?

Now this is a copy of an msn message I have recieved to night from a friend of mine and I have removed the names but thats all ;)

And I'm sure they all heard you leave
Has a distinctive sound
Not one that these boy racers can replicate with their little hatchbacks and big tail cans, no matterhow hard they try
A ():
so not chavy then?

Nope. More like a steak than a hamburger
Definitely more meat on that bone and premium quality

He's still driving my old B5 - it was an ace motor. I would have it back again if it had the space and auto box of the C5.\
In his photos it looks great.
