Diesel exhaust noise... video!

calibrax · 1st October 2011, 15:03

Now that my cracked exhaust manifold is finally fixed, I decided to make a quick video to demonstrate the sound of the Longlife stainless exhaust system... and what better way than by accelerating in a tunnel!

(video is a bit narrow because I had to use my camera on it's side due to the mount!)

Mine was nearly £400, but that included replacing the flexi with a stainless one, and decatting as well. If you just get it from the cat back, it would be about £350.

I had my Long life stainless fitted At a depot in Ashington Northumberland
My Connie is a Diesel and i had the cat removed and a full stainless run
through ....I also had the double tail pipe reduced to a single .
It cost £350 & that included an MOT.
Remember the fitters can make your car sound any way you want it to
You just tell them what you want

Peter your not that far from TyneSide why dont you come up for the
Great North Meet a few of us have stainless exhausts fitted to our
Diesels you could bring your lass up to do some Xmas Shopping in the Metro Centre and you could have a look at the exhausts to help you decide what you want

Not too loud under normal use, a nice burble really. Quite loud when you put the accelerator to the floor though

hi NICK NICK. all depends when the meet takes place, the missus is due for a foot operation with a 10-15 week recovery period.
