CR TDI sounds rubbish! improvements?
« on: 28 May 2014, 13:28 »
Hi,

I have a GTD and was wondering if this would fit, after some extra sound cheaply, as the CR engine sounds so rubbish compared to my old 1.9 stage 1, no turbo whistle or noise at all :(

if it doesn't, what do you guys reckon about an intake? afe makes intakes, but are around $300 us seems a bit pricey just for extra sound :(

also, forgot to say, before anyone talks about performance of an intake on TDI's I understand they will make 0bhp, I'm just after a little zing when I push the accelerator  :smiley:

I have a Milltek DPF back, GTI style and does little for noise. Remove the parcel shelf and drop the back seat and you can hear the extra growl. In effect makes the car a 2 seater but hey ho summers here! :grin:

Is your milltek resonated or non resonated? I'm looking for a dual exhaust like that, Darkside developments have a cr exhaust video on youtube and it sounds mean as hell!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9d-a3g9Lo4 < I think for a diesel it sounds amazing, I want this kind of sound with maybe an intake added, would equal nice sounding diesel!

Non resonated, it does have a deep drone at about 2000rpm. The tuner that did the remap prior to changing the exhaust was well impressed with standard exhaust. To be fair the milltek did nothing to performance after the remap. Was more done for cosmetic appearance.

Checked out the you tube video....A milltek is sadly not for you! The last time i heard a sound like that was in a 1976 Ford Escort 1600 sport with a Peco exhaust..i was young daft and my hearing wasn't an issue...Now who does cheapish hearing aid batteries :smiley:?

The car in that video has no DPF, which means technically it also doesn't have a valid MOT..
vosa are getting pretty hot on such modifications lately unfortunately :sad:

I hear the whole DPF delete thing will be an issue very soon, and will filter down over the next few years to small mot garages, milltek have a pipe that looks like a dpf!
also what are the laws of taking off the cat on a diesel?

That looks nice, albeit probably expensive!

Thanks  :smiley:

I dropped an email to my local custom exhaust place so I'll post up what he says / hopefully do  :smiley:
