performance exhaust on a diesel ?????????

[coulson90]

will a performance exhaust on a diesel sound absoloutly rediculus or not??? my mates seem to think it wont. if so any 1 got a good reasonablty priced exhaust suggestions (below £150) cheers

I've got a dCi and got a quote for a full stainless steel cat-back system from MIJ Performance (Walsal), fully fitted. For £270 mind.

Not sure about sound, it would worry me that it might sound nasty, but I'd go for a quiet/performance compromise.

I've heard a big exhaust on a 306 Turbo Diesel and that sounded ok. Just a bit louder and chuggy if you know what I mean...sounded ok though. It's nowhere near as loud as a petrol though which is probably a good thing!

I can highly recommend MIJ,I had my custom exhaust fitted there.

since your not far away from newcastle, go to Advanced Automotive Systems on scotswood road industrial, exhausts from there are quality. I couldn't fault mine in any way.

A mate of mine had a cat back stainless system on a seat cupra diesel, sounded strange but nice, really crisp turbo noise, hard to explain.
But certainly made a performance difference, and obviously looked nicer than the standard twin mild system.

I have heard a few diesels with big exhausts. You can sometimes hear the turbo whistle on tick over!

I had a straight through system on my old 306 DT (mechanical), it sounded fine. quite deep and bellowy tho. Sounded like a mental transit van really, a lot more diesely. I also had a powerflow rear box on my Megane DCi (bum shape) and it was silent.

Think that's a powerflow thing.

Never heard a loud powerflow exhaust.

i used to have a 5" jap style universal exhaust on my old escort ghia tdi n it sounded like a tank, when u reved it the sound of it waas beefy but not petrol beefy loud....when it was idling all u heard was a loudish rumble and loud whistle from the turbo....if i cant sell my passat then im gonna get a 5" twin universal can on it.

Think that's a powerflow thing.
