Milltek Sport vs AE Performance

I want a catback exhuast that is quiet, but more throatier than stock and better flow from the downpipes back ( aka eliminating the secondary cat converters). One of the reasons is I get up to go to work around 6am and my neighbors are mostly older people who frown upon louder exhuasts. I also would like drone to be minimal as my car is a 6AT.
I was going to go with Rennart, but recently their website stopped working and another thread of mine revealed the company was going through troubles at the end of last year. I have narrowed it down to the Milltek and AE Performance from research that I have done. They both cost $1500+, so price is kind of irrelevant to me at that point.

I've heard some of the Milltek systems have had fitment issues and rubbing between the two resonators in the front piping of the system. Anybody have any experience with this, or are they fine? Opinions on the exhuast?


I've read nothing but great things/opinions about the AE performance exhuast, but in the pics of the full system, it doesnt look like it has any resonators up in the front piping? Also heard it is louder than the milltek, but just slightly.


Thanks

Miltek is pretty quiet compared to AE.

Milltek is awesome. I've sat in one before and its not intrusive at all. Deeper and slightly louder than oem.

I'd consider Milltek or Borla single muffler if i were to get a quiet system.

I Don't like single muffler exhuasts and would like a dual muffler system. I really like the fully divorced piping design of the AE exhuast, but does it come with resonators? I've read that an x pipe (which is what the Milltek appears to have) will reduce drone. Is this just a myth? Thanks and keep the responses and opinions coming!
