If you think these exhausts are "loud" you've got another thought coming.
The TD5 as standard was more raspy than the Puma.
And last but not least a Defender as standard is not a small motor.
Under 1.5L is what I call small.

Only in the USA would 2.2 2.4 or 2.5L be considered small.

I'm thinking of changing in the future more for quality than anything else.. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Loud exhausts on really slow motors make me laugh.

Sounds like you need a remap and a few mods here and there

then put your foot down no slow motor I can assure you!!
My 2.4 is a 130mph sleeper! Sadly the speedo runs out but the photo gives you a rough idea, Bmw’s Don’t like the sight of my 90 in the rear view mirror at 100mph waiting to get past them

I’ve got a straight through with just the back box inplace still and it sounds nice and deep but not too loud with a good turbo noise between gears..

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

/\ as above

original cat with no internals and no mid pipe. sound is fine for me.
notably more business like without being 'boy racer' annoying.

Any chance of some audio from those of you with modified exhausts (that haven’t posted it already)?

Sounds like I have similar. Not too loud, Stage 2, turbo etc. it's decent for a Puma but barely respectable compared to other cars or even quick Defenders. I suspect it may be your driving style that spooks the BMW's, not your motor.

Who said anything about small? all I said was "Loud exhausts on really slow motors make me laugh". That's just me, each to their own and all that.
