I was just wondering what mods can be done to make the diesel sound better. I love my diesel but would love a good sound from exhaust.
Thanks

How to make a diesel sound better?

milltek systems sound well , tho u will still get the diesel clatter from the exhaust, speak to jbs or awesome through here and youll get a few quid knocked off the price
i have a milltek downpipe 100cell cat , centre box bypass and back box , and sounds good , undiesel like if that makes sense
ermm i forget http://www.millteksport.com/exhaust.products.cfm?variantid=174 have a look there for a stockist
You could always speak to Forge and get yourself a dump valve if all you want to do is make it sound different.
i "had a dump valve on mine, yeah IMO it sounded alright but it pissed me off cuz when i wanted to drive normal it would go off and also go off really long when lifting off gas and letting revs drop naturaly (but leave in gear)
ive got a custom 2.5" straight thru exhaust on mine with the smallest back box i could find, it sounds fine when moving / accelerating, but it just amplifies the tractorness when idling!!!

As far as I know you can turn the dump valve off at the flick of a switch as it is electronically controlled on diesels
Take a trip down to powerflow or similar custom exhaust fitter, and get them to make a straight pipe from the turbo back. Get rid of the cat and backbox.
Sounds lovely! Dropped my brother off at heathrow, and it sounded great going through the long tunnels
Costs around £120, so pretty cheap considering.
There's many many threads on it mate.... Search for mufflerectomy)

If it is a diesel you can do the downpipe without the cat.
Get the non res Milltek and that will sound better.Awesome sell Milltek at a discounted price , so have a look on the web site and check it out.
You could even do the CAI to get a beefier sound too

Sod the milltek etc. The best sound from a diesel will be without a muffler at all! Straight through, £100ish, job done. Will try to get you a video clip tomorrow mate...
Benefits: Deep raspy Sound, more turbine noise especially at idle, Cheap, Nice tip from you to choose from (less limited than milltek/powerflow), 20+kg less weight on the rear end, some report quicker turbo spool up, but in effect the gasses are getting out quicker so may be true (maybe 1BHP worth!)
Induction kits you should watch out for, some sound ok, some sound more tractor-ish. Dump valves are about £200 which for a 'Tissssh' noise is a bit much for most people.

Mines much deeper than that, although the passat never seemed to get the turbo full spooled.
I'll sort one tommorow... get my bird to stand in the street with my phone
... she loves it!
There is another video on here of a Fabia Vrs with a straight through exhaust on a trackday, possibly devonutopia??
