As a few of you know I fitted a Milltek non res to my mk5 R32 a while back and I thought I'd put up a couple of videos taken from inside the car so people get an idea of what the volume level is like and what the dreaded drone sounds like.

Best way to listen to this I find is on a decent set of closed headphones at about med to high volume levels



Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect when buying a Milltek Non Resonated system for your MK5 R32

On the first video you can clearly hear the drone at about 60-70 mph and hear how it fluctuates with the throttle input..

Comments as always are welcome guys...

Very good insight into the drone indeed. Getting an itchy trigger finger to go for a non res. How bad would you say the drone is on a scale from 1 to 10? Cheers buddy
I guess it really comes down to your own judgement.. I'd put it at probably a 6 or 7, iv yet to do any really long runs in it yet but I have noticed if you just feather the throttle you can keep it fairly quiet, it really is only at cruising speed (60-70mph) when it resonates, turning the stereo can help a fair bit :) .. On the plus side it sounds great when you give it a boot full

Yeah okay I see what you mean, so really it will only be on duals and main roads where you will hear it, around town you wont be going fast enough! Cheers for the info, slowly persuading myself to go for it. I think my best bet might be to see if one of the lads locally who has one might let me have a listen if I ask nicely haha.

Glad I could help mate... Go non res and worst case scenario fit a centre box or buy a resonated section, they come up for sale on the forum from time to time
