Thread: No muffler...

I've removed both the cat and centre muffler to reduce EGT's. It has a positive effect on the performance in regard to the turbo spooling slightly faster, but other than that it only results in a better sound and lower EGT's.

It is actually not super loud, but if highway driving a lot one might consider a hot dog. Some people have replaced the centre muffler with a high flow sports turbo muffler.

Thanks jazzman, i reckon its next on the list.
Cheers mate.

I have straight through exhaust, sounds good drones like crazy, but you get use to it

Drone was too much up hills, so hot dog where cat used to be and sounds sweet now.

I've been told that my TD5 with a straight through pipe sounds more like a V8. I disagree but then the bloke who said it wasn't an expert either
