My 2.2DTi has a K&N panel filter and the airbox has had the 3.5" pipe mod done.

I quite like the sound of it.

Just fully soundproof the engine

intake and exhaust won't make a difference.

I had a 306 hdi with scorpion backbox and green cotton filter and it sounded shit still, went well though :cool:

Modifying air intakes on tdi's that i've seen tend to make them sound like darth vader :lol:

Can sound quite good if done properly, but I'm happy to leave mine as it is :lol:

Well i dont mind it being too noisy, its just will it still sound like a diesel or will it sound :cool:


It's always going to sound like a bag of spanners on a cold winters morning tbh but there are modded ones that don't sound too bad.

I think my bosses A6 sounds fine cruising along the motorway but idling at the lights it's not the best.

correct... uses a micro switch to operate them too

I think modifying the air intake and exhaust system makes them louder if anything. Depends if you think noisy is good?

Has anybody ever done this as I have recently purchased a tdi and am wondering what u could do to improve the sound. Would it be the same sorta sound as a petrol? Also whats peoples opinions on diesel dump valves?

Cheers
