Hi Guys,

Happy Easter! I know that I havce read something somewhere about the resonated exhausts from Miltek, so sorry if this is a repeated post. I am really thinking about getting one in the next few weeks, but my dilemma is whether to go for the non-resonated or the resonated?

I use the car day to day so the noise of the resonated concerns me a little. However, I don't want to spend the money if the resonated exhaust sounds like the stock one. Is the resonated one louder than stock but not too loud? If you know what I mean?

Sorry if it seems like a stupid question,

Chris

Mate i have a resonated milltek and to be fair it was quite a quiet exhaust..but u HAVE to buy a k&n aswell thats when the noise is heared i found...i personally wouldnt want a non resonated coz it would be too loud for my liking now.

The sound of the exhaust doesnt seem to come from the back of the fiesta much its all front end i randomly found after fitting the k&n and tge exhaust broken in now im happy with the sound

If u put a manilfold and sports cat ull prob find it goes louder again! Resonated is more expensive than non resonated.

Cheers mate, I have the Mountune CAIS fitted with a miltek flexi at the min, so it is quite a quiet exhaust, would you say much different to standard?

If you have two silencers on the cat back it's resonated if u only have one where the exhaust ends it non hope this helps

Just to add another complication, where does the Mountune Cat Back fit into this noise wise. I have heard that they are quite quiet?

I loved my old resonated one. Didn't attract too much attention but sounded nice
