Is it possible that a non resonated catback is much louder ?

I'm sure it would be... but he's the only person I know who went miltek and he wasn't too happy about the decision. I know more f30 owners have gone the AWE route, and they have been happy with their decision. I actually went with the Corsa catback on my 335i and am very happy with it. Not super loud but definitely not quiet... the note is very nice.

How much does it cost to get a corsa catback if there is one for 28i??

I don't think they do. Just checked very quickly and didn't see one but could be wrong. Borla has a catback for about $1,000. If I didn't have an xdrive I would have gone the Borla route for sure.
