S4 V8 - To res or not to res?!

[RG Four Litre]

Finally decided on a Milltek cat back and the last question is - Resonated or Non Resonated? The car is manual, so from what I've read droning can be avoided, however is non res really to much? The standard setup is barely audible, therefore Im looking for something that really brings out the v8!

Ive read about a having one side resonated and the other not, wouldnt this be a problem for the engine as surely one bank would be under less back pressure than than the other?

Cheers all

The boominess of the non-res system is fun for about 5 minutes if you actually use the car.

Had the same dilema.

Wanted the noise but didn't want it too boomy. So played safe and went for res in the end, but always think "what would the non res have sounded like" whenever I read these posts!

I *think* the res sounds pretty good from outside the car, and is a good compromise.

Cheers for the feedback - Is the non res a lot different to the Standard OEM setup??

Yes!

Sorry - that was meant to read, "Is the resonated a lot different to the standard OEM setup?".
