Got a mid sport longlife system on my hdi, love it. Definitely louder than standard too, can actually hear the thing now.

On idle that seems a bit excessive though, how close were you?

FTFY.

To be fair, the exhaust is pretty damn loud.

My DT is vile with that GT17S on...

I bet sound *pressure* wise it's actually f*cking loud, it's just that Petrols place that noise where you can hear it rather than the deep bellow of a diesel with a big turbine wheel and not much in the way of silencing...

Not sure what mine is at but I know that when I floor it, with it being unfiltered, it makes a massive racket and I feel slightly deaf afterwards, especially after the turbo dumps the pressure on gear change.
