Apparently on diesels the Cat or Cats does most silencing. Also being turbo charged it does not need back pressure as this is created by the turbo and tuned to match this. I am amazed of the sound of the straight six diesel and think it was a good mod for the money. I was not after added performance as if i wanted more power i would get it chipped. Waiting for the snow to lay off so can get the sponge out give it a wash and post some pics.
