is it just me or is that turbo winding up a lot sooner, did it go any better up hills i find that the postman goes tearing past me
and off that mark it goes alright once the turbo opens up

I have a 2.5 inch from the turbo with one mid mounted free flowing muffler. Works a treat and sounds a bit like a V8. I think 3 inch would be overkill unless you have a very heavily modded engine.

Hope this works. Near the end of the clip bit of sound action.

your proably right just from all the other desiel exhausts i have seen has been 3in but the disco only has a small engine

When I got mine done (2½" Mandrel, fully free flowing centre muffler only) I was told that 3" was pretty much a waste of money.

The noise is not overly loud with no silencing, but a little too much drone for long distances I do in my opinion. Having seen and heard Grover-98 drive past me, I do like it though from the outside - assuming it was him, seeing as it was a white Disco with black bonnet and GROVER across the windscreen!!

I'll see if i can find a sound clip of mine.

what is the factory size, no one has commented if it went any better

Factory is 60mm IIRC, around 2¼ inch. I personally think it spools up a little quicker, and can hold hills a bit better, fuel economy was unchanged or slightly worse for the first month (although it also seemed to be driven harder cos I liked the sound...), now economy has dropped about 0.5L/100km but having said that it's had a service, valves adjusted and general love so I couldn't say its necessarily just the exhaust!
