Making the 2.0 louder - exhaust modification?

Post by Matthew. » Tue Jul 11, 2017 11:28 pm

Hi guys, one thing I'm certainly missing having the four pot is any exhaust note at all. Without changing the exhaust system is it possible to make it louder?

I'm thinking centre silencer delete or even a back box mod of some kind.

Has anyone done this to their '2.0'?

I modded a 2.0l back box and made it a quad for a member years ago. It sounded very good. I would go for it. :thumbsup:

Would love this but I'm thinking a quad conversion to the four pot is a bit OTT :P

Do you have a picture of the end product?

I'm going to get DLV (if it's the same bloke I'm thinking of) to convert my single to double tip so could maybe sort this at the same time.

DLV gets the thumbs up from me, talked about it with him during the mega roof motor day in Cambridgeshire and he said his backbox mod works on the 2.0.

Also maybe worth talking to Jingle as met him on the same day, he had quad exhaust and it sounded very nice indeed.

Hi mate, I had the quad conversion done on mine at a place called EMP based in St Albans, was £550 and sounds amazing!

Workmanship is so so good!
