2011 Puma TDCI DE-CAT exhaust advise
Hello all, i have been wanting my defender to sound a lot more meaty for a while now and i have been looking about for a DE-CAT exhaust system to buy.

Been looking about and there is quite a price variation between some of the exhaust on sale new on ebay i am just wondering is there will be much difference in quality? or is it just the same product with an expensive name on it? examples shown below

thanks

The two exhaust shown below look very similar but there is £30-40 differ in price? does not sound a lot of money to be worrying about but a bit short on money atm and don't want to be ripped off.

Also do you think this would be worth it? but it is a lot more money

Nice first post. Welcome to the forum.... Whistle

Buying one to sound meatier? First time I've heard that one.... Rolling with laughter

Save your money in that case as you're in for disappointment. It won't sound much different but the other benefits are worthwhile in my opinion with regards to turbo spooling up quicker. You could either remove the centrebox (or rearbox as I have done) in conjunction.

There are others that will give a lifetime warranty such as Griffin. I have a Griffin fitted which I adapted and made my own 'cat' metaphorically speaking. The first link doesn't give a warranty period, the second 10 years.
Will not delve too deeply into legality but illegal on your truck and MOT fail if noticed it's not fitted..

The last link doesn't look any different from the second? Same material same thickness.

I did one last month. I bought the de-cat and centre pipe from paddock. Exhaust note have been ticker since than and engine seems to be more freely. I even noticed change in engine revs. Do it you will not regret it. Smile Can't wait to have a remap now along with an allisport intercooler from the mighty Pete!

Thank you for your replies, i know the Pumas will never sound like the TD5 but it is always nice to get bait more noise from your defender. And i am also swear of outer advantages such as what Buwster said the engine runs more freely because of the lack of back pressure and this can slightly help the mpg.

And thanks K9K, i have quite a few mates whoi have done what i want to do on there TD5s and 300tdis and they sound amazing, just was not sure what affect it had on a puma as i have not heard much about them.

Thanks

I must be getting old. I don't want my Landy to be louder, I want it quieter.

Sounds lovely.

I'm not sure if it's a video editing trick but I swear you actually overtook another car? This is something I've never experienced in a Defender Rolling with laughter Bow down
