exhaust
my 300tdi has a straight through exhaust,fitted by PO,passes the mot ok,but its too loud!.What really bothers me though, is that its illegal.Looking on parts supplier's parts list it is confusing as they say mine should have a rear box,which it has had in the past,(i saw the old one in the previous owners garage). my landy specialist contact with a ramp,(so hes going to do it)says it should have a centre box with a normal tailpipe.Whats best,that arrangement or maybe just a silencer on the tail pipe?It has had the pump mod so i dont want to restrict the exhaust flow too much.The other problem i have is that the varying prices are confusing ,e bay very cheap, euro car parts for example very expensive,so im trusting my pal as a defender specialist will get the best parts at the best price,i hope!.

I had a 200Tdi which had no rear silencer, so I fitted one. This made no difference to the sound or the way it drove. It had the centre box though. So from that I would assume that running with just the rear silencer and no centre box it would be on the loud side! 1983 110 automatic OM606

I have a 200tdi with just a td5 rear resonator and it is too loud.

300tdi with centre box and straight tailpipe is fine and is how they came factory fit on the late 300tdi to allow for the ROW 300tdi which had the rear tank fitted
