Thread: ECU and Exhaust

TBH not much of a change in fuel consumption...
cheers

Would also be good to know approximate costs of this, I am looking at doing some long term caravan hauling and would be keen to know what can be achieved.

Ok mine is 3.0SDV6. Tune is exactly same as they list for D3/4. They anticipate around 230-240 Kw. And near 700nm. Fuel economy the same. Re the exhaust no mine hasn't failed but having had several TDV8's before the SDV6 exhaust note is well..non existent. Plus there will be a performance benefit. Re why ceramic coating -mainly to help with EGT. Cost, well mine is a bit dear (of course) cause I think I am first to get the Lengendex fitted to a Sport. So it was not off the shelf. But, the D3/4 prices are pretty good guide. Am also getting LLAMS (thanks Graeme). So will be quite poor but hopefully have big smile afterwards

Today's the day - good luck and looking forward to hearing the result! (can you do a sound file so we can hear it?!? :P)

Thanks for the reply, best of wishes to you today. I hope your Baby comes back with some more bite!!!! Sound recording before and after would be great also. I am excited for you....

Well car is in. Roo systems good they have given me a loan car. I think it is actually Glens wife's. Anyway won't get it back until earliest week end. Will do video of exhaust etc and put a link up. But didn't do the " before" I figure if you are on here you have one and know what they sound like

Ok cars back well exhaust looks good they are actually done by a company called " bend it" looks smart and well done. A nice deep growl. Note you can hear it at 110 not bad but deep note. If you want silence don't go this way. But it reminds me of our TDV8 very throaty when on the gas. Does it go better? Yes for sure. I think it is very close to TDV8 now, so close I am well happy. SWMBO noticed difference immediately. Couple of pics attached, sorry forgot LLAMs which they fitted, to lower right of steering column. So, am well happy though poor Dyno sheet attached about 710 mm and approx 220kw at flywheel

Meccles, I'd be grateful if you posted a photo of the LLAMs on your steering column. I'm considering the same.
