hey got a 220 sdi and i love it. never realised rovers actually look gud with a bit of mods but .... would anybody else fit a performance exhaust to a diesel or is it a bit silly with the sound of the diesel coming out aswel?? and when i got the car the car heater idnt work on all settings one to four. but when i drive on the motor way or at speed u can still feel hot air coming out of vents.... any body know what might be needed to get her working ? thanks

cheers skelo... is the sound still the same with it being a diesel

E_T_V · 15-07-2007, 21:14

diesels sounds very different to petrols. You get used to it though

For the heater try a search on resistor pack and that should turn up the answers to your heater problem.

Yep i'll second that! Get a Wingy one and you'll have the best rover diesel performance exhaust money can buy and will likely outlast the car to boot!

Cheers, Phil.

I have a GTX backbox and it seems to have made mine a bit slower and theres no noise during driving but is loud on tick over if i was you i would not bother but ive not seen a winggy exhaust so cant say about them.

Benny Dub · 17-07-2007, 02:02

can't say from personal experience but from what I've heard here then Wingy is DEFINITELY the way to go.

Gonna get mine (after a Tuneam box) in a couple of months.

Saw a video with a wingy exhaust and sounded proper nice, smoothed out the sound made it sound more like a petrol sort of, nice rumble.

What size was the pipework and what type of box is it?

What engine was it designed for?

DAN220SDi · 18-07-2007, 10:54

The pipe looks bigger than the origional,I dont know what type of box it is all i know is its an oval unsweped one and it will go on petrols probably made for petrols.

E_T_V · 18-07-2007, 12:02

You'll need a really big petrol box to fit on a diesel, as the exhasust sizes on a derv are a lot larger than on an equivilent size petrol engine. So if you get an exhaust for a 2 litre petrol car it'll probably strangle a diesel. The minimum pipe size on the diesel is something like 2.5 inches.
