Td5 Straight Through Exhaust Install | Land Rover Defender

[@nickcheyne5651]

Well done lads on a great video. I see you have modelled yourselves on the Mighty Car Mod boys, even using the same song. I look forward to seeing more Defender mods.

[@2702simmo]

Did this to mine the other week. It’s more of a subtle change than I’d imagined but love the new sound

[@captainclarke]

Definitely recommend this modification. I did it with my old 2005 model along with a decat, the results can be heard on one of my videos... awesome!

[@TirsbaekTV]

Captain Clarke I remember watching it! That video was partly responsible for making me go ahead with this mod. I agree, I would definitely recommend it, it's cheap, makes a noticable difference to acceleration and sounds great (Just to name a few advantages!). I can't really see any negatives!

[@captainclarke]

***** Haha it was great fun. The only downside I found with it was that on long journeys, it did 'drone' a bit in the cabin so a bit louder than before, but that was outweighed by the advantages! Towing a heavy trailer up a hill next to a wall to bounce the sound off is fantastic fun.

[@TirsbaekTV]

Captain Clarke I do a lot of motorway mileage and to be honest I can't really see a difference in noise as I'm just cruising at low revs in 5th. But yesterday however I was driving all over town running a few jobs, and driving through narrow city streets with that burble echoing off the buildings was just heavenly!

[@captainclarke]

***** I guess it depends on how much sound insulation you have from the outside. Mine was originally soft top so there wasn't much to stop the noise! I also guess that with the catalytic converter on originally, that helped to 'deaden' the sound through the system itself below the cab.

[@landroveradventure8624]

Thats a nice sound guys. And two Nice Defenders, and a nice workplace. You have a great channel. Upload more video's 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@meroxyersox]

Does anyone know how I can tell if my 2001 TD5 had a cat out of the factory? Was straight piped before I owned it

[@CAL740JJ]

Hi, i was that 03 green td5 disco you spoke to at the lro show this year, just ordered a straight through for mine, cant wait!!

[@TirsbaekTV]

Hi Callum. Enjoy the sound of your straight pipe!

[@alancrossley4461]

Great video thanks. I’m going to be getting some work done on my year 2000 Td5 Defender but I’m curious to know if the exhaust I mission becomes a problem with current EU regulations? Regards Alan Republic of Ireland.

[@TirsbaekTV]

As long as you're not removing the catalytic converter to install a straight pipe it should be fine - and yours being a 2000 model, it shouldn't one anyway as it was introduced in 2001 or 2002 on the Td5 I believe.

[@s.soraharding6107]

So did your fuel economy change?

[@jeremylakenes6859]

Did it have more power? Better mileage?

[@michaelleigh2446]

Hi Liam, a ? , with Denmark being a very "green" country how did removing silencer affect MOT or equivalent, do you still have rear box on?

[@TirsbaekTV]

Didn't make a difference, still passed.

[@dannysheath6881]

What size bolts did you end up replacing the originals with? And also did you have to drill the old ones out? Thanks

[@GQytnetwork]

Hello guys, great vid. I was wondering of the size of the bolts, is that m10x50? is that appropriate? thanks

[@edwardball3124]

Was there just one gasket used on the 3 bolt side? And what size bolts did you use?

[@W.CambridgeLeatherCraft]

Is this legal in the UK?

[@duncan1271]

Hi I’ve done this to my 110 but I still have the small back box. Did you remove this as well? Love your channel😉

[@TirsbaekTV]

Thanks! Nope, still have the back box.

[@TheRenadel]

hi guys! u only install a straight through exhaust without remove the egr valve? the sound that cames out is only due to the straight through exhaust? keep doing videos!

[@TirsbaekTV]

+nope yep Thanks! Plenty more videos to come. All we did was replace the centre silencer box with a straight through, so no EGR removal.

[@TheRenadel]

Thanks a lot!

[@hurleylfd]

Do you have anymore before and after sound comparisons? Also, do you have a suggested source? I am going to look into doing this with my 2.5 turbo diesel. I enjoy the videos, thanks.

[@TirsbaekTV]

+John Wilkerson Unfortunately I don't have anymore footage of the stock sound. I am thinking of creating a second TirsbaekTV channel though for behind the scenes/less official content so I may post a comparison video on there as we have another Td5 with a stock exhaust still on it. If you're wondering where to get one, I believe I got mine from JohnCraddockLtd.co.uk, PaddockSpares.com is also a good site.

[@MrCocoPop100]

Mine sounded nothing like this, no whistle or anything. Do you have and EGR delete also as I do?

[@TirsbaekTV]

Nope. If yours is from 2001 onwards, it'll have a Catalytic Converter fitted to the exhaust, which I'm guessing is what's dampening the sound. You can remove it, but please make sure it's legal to do so in your country first.

[@MrCocoPop100]

Damn 2002! And nope, not legal in England ahaha

[@meroxyersox]

@@TirsbaekTV mine is first registered March 2001, do you know how I can check if mine had one out of the factory?

[@jonnygreen2146]

How much of a difference is the sound? I also have a 99 TD5 so I am guessing it will sound the same. I am correct in thinking that up to 2001 TD5 dont have a cat? Thanks

[@TirsbaekTV]

Quite different! Have a look at this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqjKip5pgKdmbqs

[@imishig]

is it the same process on the Disco 2? (2004 model)? someone told me the disco has sensors for exhaust gasses etc, so it would give errors when the original box is replaced with the straight through?

[@discoveryii9504]

If you are talking diesel or petrol taking our a catalytic converter will mean your car will fail the MOT. It may void your insurance as well. The new regs currently mean the cat must be there. You could in theory take out the mid box and currently remove the EGR ( but keep the bits, there is a rumor that this may be a requirement in the future)

[@tpecolarable]

How is it with MOT if you put a straight through pipe?

[@TirsbaekTV]

Hasn't caused an issue here in Denmark.

[@philharmer9164]

hey Tirsbaek TV, where did you get the part? can you tell me please where the part comes from or where i can buy it? thanks

[@mwynne450]

What size are the bolts required? Cheers

[@Ciudad_Juarez]

hola.Yo tengo el 300 tdi 110.Si le quito el catalizador central consigo ese sonido? gracias

[@TirsbaekTV]

+Hust HS Simply removing the catalytic converter probably won't create a sound as raw as this. You will need to remove the centre silencer box also. But be sure that removing the catalytic converter is within the bounds of the law in your country. (My Spanish is rusty, hopefully that answers your question)

[@checa160]

+TirsbaekTV. The answer was perfectly directed to the question. So if your spanish is rusty, keep it like this as you understood it perfectly. Great effort from you. Thanks. Good videos by the way. Cheers

[@TirsbaekTV]

Thank you!

[@willturner5633]

Hi guys just watched your vid thinking of doing the same exhaust mod to mine (2004 defender 90 ) but what I'm interested in at the moment was the after market wheel rims on your landy, my tyres need to be changed ,so a rim size change is also a consideration, looking at yours I'm guessing that those rims are J8 x 20mm off set (et) with 265x85x16 have I got that right ?

[@TirsbaekTV]

+Will Turner They're actually 235x85x16

[@1995scooterboy]

well after watching this video i can confirm that the fuel consuption indeed is lower (if driven slowly), and it also varies from defender to defender. Mine was a straight forward mount, i also did the one on my mates from wich the bolts were completely f*cked... a 30 minute job turned out to take 4-5 houres due to lack of material at the start. Also for those who wonder if a straigt pipe with a cat sounds nice? yes they do, it just isnt as raw but it sounds pretty angry as well.

[@TirsbaekTV]

Mud Sweat & Tears Thanks for letting us know! As we said in the video, the job wasn't too bad. It took a little longer than expected but certainly not 4-5 hours!

[@koitorob]

@urbex2007 Idiot! If the turbo spools up at a lower rpm you don't need such a wide throttle as before. Less throttle means less fuel. You are correct regarding excess smoke though

[@bulletheed1970]

Removing a silencer won't affect emissions. Only noise. Removing the cat may, but won't be a problem if you know a friendly MOT tester ;)

[@sony111111111111]

great vid! thanks for uploading! now, I wonder.. is it exactly the same proces with a td4? I own a td4 1998 and I already have a decat exaust pipe. Is it possible to do the job with the same part you used? (your midpipe for a td5) pls help!

[@TirsbaekTV]

sony111111111111 Thanks. You can install this mod on a '98 Td4 yes, but the pipe is slightly different, not the exact same part as we used. You will need one made for the 300Tdi (Which I assume is the engine you're talking about) Although, you shouldn't need a decat, as that the 'cat' was introduced from 2001 onwards.

[@sony111111111111]

Allright! Thanks for fast reply ;) Any idea where i can order one for my tdi300?

[@TirsbaekTV]

sony111111111111 Got mine from JohnCraddock.co.uk. PaddockSpares.com should also do it

[@sony111111111111]

[@RustyRoad]

How does this affect interrior noise when doing 60 km/h on a motor way? Would love to cut mine out but afraid I can won't be able to travel far distances.

[@TirsbaekTV]

Personally I don't think it makes a difference when cruising, you have nothing to worry about.

[@Eenkano]

Did you also skipped the cat? I especially ask because of a planned remap.

[@TirsbaekTV]

It never had a cat, only models produced 2001 onwards do.

[@Eenkano]

TirsbaekTV tnx! I’m getting a 2000 model next week. I’m not sure (anymore) but I believe the dutch models allready had a cat in that year... I will see next week and ask the tuner to make a wise decission.

[@jakeybrant1892]

where did you get the straight pipe from?

[@TirsbaekTV]

www.paddockspares.com I think

[@Roverlon96]

So nice i love this straight through sound... We already removed the cat from our td5 but in germany it's also illegal to remove the center silencer:(

[@TirsbaekTV]

AppleAlfons It is a lovely sound. A shame that you can't remove the centre silencer, seems like a strange law.

[@Roverlon96]

Seems like germany...:(

+TirsbaekTV "you can't" in Portugal too hehe

and you didnt use stainless bolts...................

U can take the cat off any diesel that int got Sensors with out any law problems

[@TirsbaekTV]

In Denmark, you cannot get an MOT if you have removed the cat, if it was born with one
