Go for non resonated for a bit more noise, especially if keeping the cat

Because it's cheaper to produce as has no resonatoer welded into the straight section of pipe.

Normally only about 1 - 2dB different.
If you still have a cat or get the sports cat this acts as a good silencer, so no real need for a resonator. Especially on the MilTek which is one of the quieter stainless systsms anyway.

I'm running the full 3' sports cat Milltek system and had a noise test at 91dB at Goodwood, personally if you are thinking of changing the exhaust get a full system, there were a couple on scoobynet around £400 recently.
