Got my Milltek non-res non-valved installed!
Very happy with it and glad I went with non-res because it is surprisingly tame and quieter than what I expected (good thing). I was on the fence about getting resonated instead and feared that the non-resonated I ordered might be too obnoxious. Well, it actually isn't. It's just perfect.
I can definitely feel a little extra on the butt dyno in 2nd and 3rd gear to redline... not sure if maybe it's just more sound translating into a false sensation of more pull, but whatever, I feel something and it's all good.
Net gains:
- no more reaching for the S button
- ear-to-ear grin at full throttle pulls
- approx 20 lbs weight savings? (didn't actually weigh it)
- extra power/torque? (didn't have time to get it dyno'd)
- nice looking tips that blend in nicely w/ curvature of bumper
- dirty looks from pedestrians and other cars when slowing down for stoplights in gear

good to know. I wonder how it would sound with no mufflers at all, just straight pipes from the DPs/cats back. seriously! hell, people ride their stupid Harley's around with bare pipes, so why can't I?

Re: not too loud...hmm....
You could do that and be just like the "stupid Harley guys", but then your luxury car will become as uncomfortable and fatiguing as a noisy Harley.
Reminds me of a joke I told my kids when they were very young. I was a sportbike owner and my kids always waved at motorcycles. Harley guys typically would not return the wave. When my kids asked why Harley guys wouldn't wave, I told them they didn't use underarm deoderant and were hiding the big wet spot under their arms. Unkind as hell - but they started it!
