The only way the Puma engine won't sound like a Transit is to swap it for something else but a louder exhaust will cover it up a bit. Lots of different options out there but Twisted are as good as most, although a bit more pricey. WARNING.

In agreement with everything Zed said. I personally have never come across a puma defender that didn't sound like a transit sadly. Stuart

As Zed said, the engine will always sound like a transit, but you can at least make the exhaust note sound better. Stainless steel, decat, egr blank, wider bore. Demand Engineering are most people's 'go-to' on here. And then buy your own intercooler, hoses and remap from Alive Tuning or Bell Auto Services. You'll get the same performance, sound, fuelling improvements etc doing it this way, but for a lot less money than buying a bundle from Twisted. Dave Bell considered the industry leader in remapping. Some people do think a good remap smooths out the industrial nature of the TDCi, but that might be subjective/placebo effect. Also, if you want to get rid of some of the transit sound, consider sound proofing your interior. Not a huge difference, but every little helps. You can also sound proof the engine bay, but I've never stood alongside one that's been done to know if it makes much difference when outside the cab. Monsieur Le Grenadier

Very true. Men shouldn't multi task and type on their favourite forum whilst WhatsApping a mate called Dave. Better to keep things simple Monsieur Le Grenadier

Pete Bell for map and intercooler. Demand, twisted or others for the exhaust.

I though maybe Pete had a brother that was the brains of the operation and Pete was just the suave front man!! |
