Make my TDI sound a bit more 'throaty'

[Djwoody]

Other than fitting an aftermarket exhaust, is there any way to make my TDi 170 sound a bit more throaty when accelerating?
I've looked at induction kits but have heard mixed reports.

Remove the back box and fit a straight through pipe to the tailpipes, a lad has done that on here and it sounds half decent, that was on a PD140.

I think he's called 'itwasntme1987'.

He wishes he was born in 1987.

It's itwasntme187. Apparently he murders people in his spare time.

yh find the thread here: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/new-a3-s3-sportback-8p-chassis/154405-back-box-delete-2-0tdi.html

It sounds so much more louder in a tunnel

If it's a PD 170 if you do the DPF delete the only box is then the back box and it gives it a turbo spool noise that is quite loud at idle and a bit of a "whoosh" when accelerating. Not loud I suppose, but the last thing I'd want to make a PD diesel is LOUDER

I also did the same thing.

Simply removed the backbox and had a straight pipe welded on with a tip. Sounds real nice under heavy accel and completely normal and quiet when cruising.

Btw, the turbo whoosh noise is so loud when the engine is cold. Turns so many heads!

Drop me a PM if you require anymore info!
