Milltek Filter-back Exhaust for Audi RS3 Saloon/Sedan 400PS (8Y MQB EVO) - Non-OPF/GPF Models (2022 onwards) – Sharper Sound, Filter Retained
This is Milltek's particulate filter-back system for the Audi RS3 Saloon/Sedan 400PS (8Y MQB EVO) - Non-OPF/GPF Models. It replaces everything downstream of the factory diesel or petrol particulate filter with wider-bore pipework and re-tuned silencers, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The filter itself is left exactly where the manufacturer fitted it, so emissions equipment is unaffected. It's offered in non-resonated, race non-resonated or resonated EC approved versions, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.
It's the right choice if you want a sportier sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement on a filter-equipped car, without going anywhere near the parts of the system that keep it emissions-compliant.

What's the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions?
The resonated version adds extra silencing for a quieter, more refined tone. The non-resonated version leaves it out, so it is louder and more aggressive. Race versions are the loudest and are intended for track use.
