Default Milltech non resonated exhaust?

Does anyone have the Milltech non resonated muff system?
Specifically is there let off rumble/resonance and/or a lot of noise at constant speed?

2012 S4 being prepped for shipping; p+, black/black and silver, 6MT, diff, nav, backup sensors.
2004 Allroad; TTronic, GIAC chip.

Thanks,

Norm

Default REMUS Rep' Response

Are you aware of these...?



No drone whatsoever. Nice, mellow, deep and throaty with all the efficiency, H.P. and torque benefits of a full free flow sport system. If you'd like more info, call, PM me, or respond here. ~ Thanks!

There are many Milltek non-res users here. I have both Milltek non-res and Milltek res on 6MT. To me, the non-res only drones under heavy load like steep hills at around 2500 RPM. On the flats it is fine IMO.

As I drive up steep hills to/from work, I have switched to the Milltek res, only my personal preference.

I have the non res exhaust and love the sound, there is some drone at highway speeds but it is tolerable. When under load, it sounds awesome.

I've had the Milltek Non-Res system on my 6MT S4 for several months now and absolutely love it. There isn't much drone but is louder at a constant speed than the stock exhaust. That said, I've had SO many compliments on how the car sounds from friends, coworkers and strangers. Everyone seems to love the Milltek exhaust, especially the driver

Milltek Non-Res FTW!! Personally, I would pair it w/ APR's Stage II intake. The two make a sweet sound combo.

I have Milteks non Res as well after tons of questions and research. I am super happy with it. Like mentioned above only drones slightly on inclines and it gets quieter after broken in. Sounds outstanding in tunnels and parking garages under load... I love it

Miltek non-res FTW like the others have said... Here is a sample... I do have different cats though so it won't sound quite like this...

Whoa, that video gave me a flashback! Wasn't that on a Pink Floyd album?

(sounds good but loud!)

How would you compare the resonated exhaust to stock? I am basically looking for a little "grumble" but nothing intrusive at highway speeds. The stock exhaust is so damn quiet I can't tell if the car's running but at the same time I don't want to return to the noise I had on my 2008 Porsche 911.
