Default Which backbox is quieter: Miltek or Revolution?

As per title: I am choosing between the two & want the quietest, high flowing, backbox out there. I believe its probably one of the two above.

Any comments/views welcome.

ps Even with one of the above fitted I will probably still be struggling to be within trackday noise limits, as currently system if full 3" twin scroll, H&S decatted, with only 1 resonator in centre section. (The H&S Jap style back box has to go!)

I've got a full 3" revolution system and it's very quiet compared to most I've heard.

Well I went with the Miltek backbox, not the best build quality but good performance & quiet. Now 93db at 5,00rpm static, on drive by will probably be under 100db. Sounds a bit flat & deep most of the time but still howls some when I boot it!
Thanks for input everyone
