Well as I won't be doing long motorway journeys in my K1 I reckon the non resonated is gonna get my vote.. What would be next on the essential mod list??

On the motorway its only booms on hard acceleration when cruising at 70ish it not that loud at all.

As for mods if you going for full exhaust and pump might as well go for a stage 2 map instead of a stage 1 to get the most out of you mods

It is very difficult to decide which way to go without being able to hear side by side the difference between Resonated and NON Resonated. I'm led to believe that there's no performance or power gains to be had with having a NON Resonated Exhaust, so I think I'll be opting for a Resonated when or if I get one.

Having said that, the offer Awesome has on at the moment is very good/tempting.

I went at first for the resonated. It was good but just not enough for me so swapped over to the non-res and did not regret it at all. Sound is great and not intrusive or boomy IMO.
