Td5 sound
Good evening all

I’m always hearing people say how amazing the td5 sounds, mine doesn’t!🤣
On tick over it sounds ok but when revved it sounds very much like a early defender engine, also when accelerating it’s very load in the cab
Any ideas to give it a better less tractor like tone, even my 300tdi with a centre box delete was quieter and had a deep burble
Thanks

What exhaust and what parts do you have fitted?

As far as I’m aware it’s all standard

It’s a 1999 so has no cat, I’m tempted to put a centre delete pipe in

3inch down pipe and no silencers should do the trick, certainly does on mine.

TD5 with no centre silencer is a reasonable compromise.

Not too loud, but has a slightly more satisfying low down grumble.

Weirdly, ours used to drone something rotten in the cab when the centre silencer was fitted- it's possibly slightly noisier now but is a less unpleasant frequency/sound somehow.

That’s interesting Chris, thanks, that’s kind of what I’m thinking

The best ones I’ve heard on You Tube were made by Demand Engineering. I’ve used Longlife custom exhausts on several vehicles and have been very pleased with the outcome. I think a larger diameter pipe changes the note on diesels quite a bit, makes it deeper. 1983 110 automatic OM606

The demand ones do sound good, I think you might be right about going to a larger diameter, iv heard that before, In fact some say it actually makes to car quieter
