Restriction, what restriction! DPF, say no more

[gldgti]

Jamie is on the ball as per usual. The pipe looks great to me from the DPF back, nice size and mandrel bent. Just ditch that last giant muffler and see how the middle one copes. I've read the diesel sounds quite acceptable with little to no mufflers, but I've yet to hear a horny diesel so I figure flow is more important than noise. The DPF is indeed the killer, and I'm sure we'll see a delete kit in the next year or so.

mmm horny diesel.... i looove that sound...

from 7.6l v8 turbo with twin straight pipes that actually crackled, to my old gld with 2.25" extractors that droned on and on but really barked, a nice big exhaust is always horny on a diesel, hehehehe... (yup i'm warped)

dont waste your money on stainless steel polished expensive brand named rubbish for your diesel either. its a load of C R A P. once you put a turbo on a diesel, the rest is either classed as fire hazard reduction, noise reduction or decoration.

if your into decoration... well i feel for your wallet. but the best performance exhaust for a diesel turbo (post turbo) is NO exhaust. thats the fact...

[Greg Roles]

Yeah, I hear you.

No exhaust is optimal for any turbo, and don't worry, the stock exhaust in the MK5 GT looks great, nice and fat with mandrel bends. I will at least swap out the muff's for better flow, but that's probably it.

The DPF, well we'll see. Don't want orse on my case! Damn hippies.
Good for you in wanting an environmentally friendly home, is my goal as well.

For the record, I've been veggo my entire life, was raised by damn hippies!
So I think I'm ahead in the impact game:

When i have my chip on my polo turned to the max setting and i give it a boot full, it would leave a semi to shame,with all the soot it produces.The cars behind me would be getting a lung full.I have to wash the back of my car once a week cause of all the soot?

Pah! Try listening unmoved to the crackle of an English Electric 12-CSVT, or the bark of an ALCO 251C, or the throaty chant of an EMD 645, or even the steam-ship thud of a GE 7FDL-16!

... yeah, I'll stop now

Two things that worry me about this post are:

1 You seem proud that your small car can produce a huge amount of visible soot. Please consider other road users and turn your chip down to the point where it runs efficiently (and/or drive more thoughtfully thus enjoying even better economy and saving on car washes too ).

2 You seem to be unaware of what a negative effect you are having on the attitudes of people towards diesels.

Do you actually want the majority of people to dislike diesels so much that politicians either ban diesel cars altogether, or put such stringent pollution controls on them that most (including yours) are put off the road ? It would be very easy to instruct the police to automatically defect any car that is producing "excessive visible particulates".

Sorry to seem so negative, but in this case I just had to say what is on my mind.

I wonder how many people reading this even know what engines you are talking about ? I'll bet not very many (but happy to be proven wrong)

To collect your $50 from MOTK you will have to display a lot more knowledge about each specific engine than that (and no cheating by looking up google - I said "know", not "able to look up").

After reading your response ill make sure that when i go to canberra next that my chip is set to 10 and ill flog the **** out of my small car so it produces the maximum amount of soot you clown
