    single exhaust dual exit, info

    Evening all I know it's not exactly clear but I'm unsure of actual name. Basically I'm looking at swapping my standard back box and standard exhaust tip with a twin exit pipe like on the twin turbo models. Has anyone made the conversion or have a twin with the exhaust already on? If so is there a massive difference in the exhaust noise? And before people say it I know diesels never sound amazing.

    If you want it for noise then I wouldn't bother. As others can vouch you could have a nice quiet conversation behind mine when it was on a rolling road.

    Is there anything to do to emphasise the low rumble that diesels produce as I'd like to be able to hear better in a tunnel

    then realistically its not going to happen. You could try removing all silencers but your not going to gain much noise to be honest, turbo diesels just aren't really that loud. Mine is just a straight 3" pipe from turbo to tail and until i really boot it thats not even that loud!
