Thread: TD5 Defender exhaust

Rear end silence tends to remove the higher "exhaust notes", the centre the deeper ones.

Removing the silencer shouldnt be a problem.

I run a straight through front and centre pipe, leaving the only silencer in the back section. Its a bit noisier when its pulling hard, but appart from that its fine.

My Tdi only has a hot dog muffler in place of the main one the rear resonator has been removed as well
Just chop it out you will be fine

im with jon also, ive run the 90 with out all mufflers, way to loud.... i have just the rear one fitted to a 3'' system. if this is still to noisy for you fit a hot dog type like rangie man said, they are a smaller diameter than the OE muffler and they come in 8'' 10'' and 12'' lengths.

cheers phil

Is it a 110 or a 130? The 130's have longer exhaust pipes (obviously) and are pretty reasonable with just a single muffler. More pipe to soak up the noise probably.

From what DiscoWhite says a 90 is too loud so maybe that's simply because its exhaust is much shorter.

erich's is a 110, but your right, hiline's 130td5 sounds ssswwweeeettt minus the mufflers, but the 90 barks and really sounds crap under load
