I've heard quite a few diesels driving around with these large bore universal backboxes, it does make it louder, creating what can only be described as a very deep burble. Don't expect the 10HP power gain they promise though!

I looked at these also as possibilities for my TD..   but in the end for my 2100 mile trip last week I just ran open straight 2.5" exhaust..
a 180* bend and angled down with a turned down tip so the sound/exhaust has to reflect off the ground/road

it wasn't too obnoxious..  not even driving thru sleepy towns @ 10pm.. was raining though..   :wink:

certainly had to sound like a bat outta hell when I was trying to make my train (autotrain) and pushing down the orlando I95 @ near redline(4500rpm) and indicated 80-85 on my speedo.. (195-75-14 tires)  :?:

all i know is I passed the majority of I95 cars on a saturday afternoon (sure a few still passed me)  and some high end cars/SUVs seem to take it personally when a spotted (rusty) tan VW camper SCREAMS past them in the fast lane.    :shock:

1600ccs of Diesel pounding FURY  :twisted:

made the train cut off by skin of my teeth,  but wasn't last car there either..   :roll:
