Be careful decatting - could result in an MOT fail these days. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Once heard 4.2 SC with a non standard exhaust and what an awesome sound that made. Couldn't belive it when I saw it was RR Sport. Apparently the guy just had the internals removed from the existing mufflers. |

Think I'm going to fit one, is there any engine lights on the dash that come on, take it car doesn't need mapped once fitted? Is there big difference in noise? |

We have been through this more times than I care to remember. A decat on a Diesel WILL NOT be a cause for an MOT fail. If it does fail, kindly refer him to his MOT tester's manual, or find another MOT station |

Thanks for getting back to me and now I will have fun fitting mine on Tuesday lol and I also went for the uprated silicon pipe that goes from turbo to inter cooler as they recommend swapping then as they are prone to wear and also sucking in under high boost from remap |

Never heard that before on a D3. The intake pipe is a rigid plastic pipe, attached to a steel pipe, with only a 3 inch long rubber pipe, that I have never seen split before...

yes disco mike the pipe I have brought is long so that must be the one like you say from intercooler to intake and the tuning shop said that they tend to suck in under load. |

It sounds almost the same as standard. A little bit throatier, a bit more turbo whistle, but makes little to no real difference to the noise |
