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

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

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? |
