OP is this on a B8/8.5 model or a B9?
I have owned both, I will say non-resonated on a B8 model is pretty dang loud for sure. On the B9 though a resonated system is barely any louder than stock, at least in regards to the AWE Touring systems I have ran. Between the downpipe cat on the B9 Turbo cars and the fact that the turbo also acts like a muffler I ended up ordering the non-resonated pipes from AWE. It is now perfect in sound, just like the other commenter. In Drive or Auto it is very docile, in Sport Dynamic it is very open and sounds great with some burbles and pops on decel, nothing too crazy at all.
