R55 Clubman Exhaust Sound Clips?

Any one have any sounds clips for an R55 with a decat downpipe and either a Magnaflow exhaust or a Milltek RESONATED exhaust?

I have the non Res Milltek on my Clubman and it sounds great. I had the Res version before but it was like it was still stock. I now also have a catless DP and it's not too loud.

I don't really want it much louder than it is now, maybe a little deeper tone. I have your catless downpipe on the car, but I'm also running the stock exhaust. (For now)

Do you have any sound clips of your clubman with the non resonated Milltek and catless DP?

I don't have any clips from outside the car, but I have an in-car video of mine.
It's got a 3" catless downpipe, custom 3" secondary cat delete pipe with a 6" OD Maganflow race muffler, and a Magnaflow catback. It's perfect for me. Not loud. Not raspy.

I have a 2011 r55 with catless dp and magnaflow exhaust. Here's video of before and after the downpipe install:

And here's video from inside:

Both videos are before I got my Manic tune which made it sound a little more aggressive. Love my exhaust!

Sweet! I appreciate the videos. Sounds like it has a nice deep throaty sound with the downpipe and Magnaflow.

Yes, the dp added some raspiness that sounds fantastic. You will have some drone at 70-80 with the catless dp. I've thought about removing the secondary cat and resonator, but I can't find a clear answer on whether that would make drone worse or better.

I have a catless downpipe already, but I'm running it with the OEM exhaust right now. I would like to get a little bit more sound, but hopefully without any additional drone.
