Default Milltek Non-Res vs Res cat back exhaust ? old topic

I did do a search and this is an old topic but was looking for some current thoughts. Been set on a Milltek non-res exhaust for a post xmas present. Neighbor has one on '03 225 roadster and it sounds good and he has been happy with new sound and performance. I do a short 30 minute communte at 70-80 mph (30 miles) and thought non-res would be fine at 3K-3.5K Rpm without too much cabin drone and give me some performance gain. Tonight went out with friend who has a Infinity G35 and it sounded great around town... much more "attitude" than my other friends TT Milltek or my stock. It got me thinking that maybe I should be getting resonated Milltek, but since I spend more time on the highway than in town will extra sound / resonation make me wishing for non-resonated? WDYT? Thanks.

resonated will be quieter than the non-res.

Default I like the resonated Milltek over the non-resonated one I had before >>>

It is a lot quieter and yet has that agressive sound when needed. On the highway, it close to stock and barely heard unless you get on it.

The non-resonated one has a decent amount of cabin drone- def liveable and not as bad as some of the other exhausts I have heard (ex., the TechTonics exhaust on a VR6 is a lot louder). But it was not for me ... I like a quiet cabin.
