I've had both (on different cars) and handled lots of both and Milltek ones are better quality IMO.
Not saying I know it all but I do not think that is strictly always true. On AOC loads of people have had problems with their Milteks ranging from welds blowing to faulty silencers.
Also I was up at Mark Fish's last weekend and he was dealing with a cracked Miltek that was being replaced under waranty.
Personally for my car I would choose a Miltek for the sound and the fact its quiet.
However on the VXR them videos do no justice to the Remus, i've not heard a Miltek on a VXR under load but I am pretty sure you wouldnt be disapointed with either.
Also Stavs are ou planning on fitting an Actual VXR system onto your GSi once you have sorted the engine?

Fad the milltek i can get off the shelf, the remus i would chop off the right hand hanger on the rear box, shorten it and also remove the 90 degree pipe of the box and have a nice oval sitting in the recess.

Ahh rght well I know its not being different I would go for the miltek or say a Supersprint/Jettex with a normal round rear box.
As much as the Remus will sound the bollocks the large oval mayy look a tad large in the normal position?

Supersprint does'nt make anything for the astra tub, the jetex has a silly big letter box style thing for the astra  I would use a small oval tailpipe instead of the remus one.
Im tempted to go milltek, I sent Oli a link to youtube.

The non resonated Milltek is good, I'd just be careful of build quality.
