Title: 2.0 tdi 170 exhaust options
Post by: sandypark1993 on December 24, 2015, 05:01:39 pm

I have a 2.0 tdi 170 (BMN) engine and just wanting to know if a cat back exhaust , say a milltek or cobra would make any difference in sound or would I need to do a dpf delete and a catback to get a decent sound?

With the DPF in place it will sound mostly standard.
Deleteing the DPF will give you a nice-ish noise even with the standard cat back section.
Mine sounded like this on the stock turbo with DPF and Eurojet 3 inch rear section that Alex made up for me.
