    Anyone with muffler removed in Melbourne?

    Hey all, not sure which forum to put this in!
    Wondering if someone with a td5 that has the middle muffler removed could let me go for a ride in their car? Trying to decide if I want to do it with noise etc
    Also, if you have known working brakes I would love to see what the pedal feels like as I have to double pump mine, but some posts suggest that is chauffeur stop?
    I'm in eastern suburbs... Can anyone help?

    Glad to hear that you are still driving this vehicle on the road!


    Regarding the muffler removed, I found that it was the rear passengers that suffered - they found it a lot louder than the front passengers noticed.

    Haha well played. Let me clarify, I don't 'have' to double pump, but I believe it gives a much greater pedal feel and stopping power is a lot more effortless.

    I really want hear what the sound difference is, have a little guy in the back seat all the time and I don't want it to be irritating for him and have him crack it all the time in the car

    Had u thought of replacing the middle muffler with a 12 or 18" long hotdog, to cut down the drone?
    I removed the center muffler on my D1 and it's not loud, but can develop an annoying drone at highway speeds.
    Perhaps a straight through hotdog would let it breath better, but cut down the annoyance of a straight through system.

    This is what you need .Lightly baffled so very little restriction.
    A 50 Delta flow with centre in and offset out x2.5 would be what I will get.

    Regards Philip A
    Actually this one is the nearest to exact fit by my measurements. I had one on my RRC and there was no droning but a nice note. To see the theory google the Flowmaster site.

    I have a straight through pipe all the way on an 03 td5 defender. My wife can hear me coming home 3 kilometers away. I like the sound on the inside but I am sure our neighbors wont. Its actually quite quiet on gentle throttle. But when floored it is quite loud. Probably very annoying on an auto but liveable with a manual box.

    The double pump brakes may be play in your wheel bearings. Mine did that for years until I had the bearings rebuilt to county spec.
