That was the desired effect, it wouldnt be over the limit on noiseyness but with the cat/filter it should still pas emisions anyways????

my mate is running his 200tdi wit just a turbo down pipe, has done for 4 months can't smell it in the car and his fueling is high!

Stimmo-Disco1 · Jul 22, 2009

ya but has he had to take it through an mot like it???

Stimmo-Disco1 · Jul 22, 2009

i can see why it could make it stink inside, but surely abit of redirecting the exit of the pipe would sort that??

discoboy84 · Jul 22, 2009

it has to exit from under the car (anywhere) to pass an MOT, they don't fail for noise(tdi's can't make that much noise)

Stimmo-Disco1 · Jul 22, 2009

discoboy84 · Jul 22, 2009
