How does the exhaust sound? The stock exhaust is so quiet its embarrassing sometimes. No noise at all!
Transforms it so much. I don't like the constant whistle like some that's why I had rear silencers.

How would I get a clip up?
That's what i'm not sure about, running completely open. I don't really like the whistle.

Not too sure about a sound clip. Maybe make a video and post that?

If you can get someone to stand and drive past them. And maybe another one with the car stationery and revving.

Sorry about the poor quality, I only had my phone.

It doesn't do it justice tbh, you can actually hear more grunt but the phone won't pick it up.

Sounds good. I'm sure it sounds even better in person as the iphone mic isn't the best.

Suprised it still had turbo whistle with the resonator boxes in place?

To be honest in person it does sound better and the exhaust whistle ain't like that, I think the phone magnified the whistle and took away the growl.

It sounds awesome under that bridge, and on the 3rd clip it sounds like a petrol fluttering dump

Top gear performance Doncaster did the work, have a look at their work a couple pages back.

I did a price break down on the page too, in total it came to 780 with some knocked off because of all the work I was having done at the same time.

Highly recommend those lads.

Tbh she said she didn't mind but in the end i got my mate to hold it (women ain't got a clue lol)

Yea i don't mind getting my hands dirty on simple things that I know are easy, like my fmic (piece of piss) but I just get stressed and end up breaking things if i dive into other things I'm not sure of.

It's a good quality egr bypass, i'm very impressed

I love the little fluttering sound it makes, doesn't really sound like a diesel only on tick over. It sounds more like a petrol, i'm glad I went with the silencers.

My old E46 330d sounded rally sweet, had EcoTune's catless down pipe installed plus a BlueFlame stainless system and the BlueFlame systems on cars do sound as fruity as they do on bikes(you hear a TVR Tuscan S you'll know what I mean)and for a diesel sounded the nuts. Nice to hear an aggressive diesel really surprises people

Oh yes those tuscans sound awesome, one used to come next door to my old work.

I'm not sure Blue flame do an exhaust for mine do they?

Have you heard the new bi turbo from audi? Now they are the best sounding diesel I've heard. (Standard)
