I’m gonna say it, for non heavy duty applications, VAG makes the best sounding diesels imo. They (when modified properly) sound like their gas equivalents but run on diesel instead. This sounds exactly like a gas v8 (if you listen to an American diesel v8, it will sound nothing like this). Audis diesel V6 sounds just like a gtr when it’s straight piped. I love diesels in general but the ones from VAG are on another level
A few years ago I had a 2008 4.2 TDi and replaced the “boat anchor” rear muffler with mandrel bend SS hotdogs on each side. Was a bit droning at times. Fuel economy was amazing (was remapped) 7.6 L/100 klm highway average for a long 5 hour trip on cruise the whole way. Best vehicle I ever owned. I also changed the steering wheel to a flat bottom and upgraded MMI to the colour version. Wish I still owned it. Towed the 2.4 ton full sized semi-off-road van like it wasn’t even there. Ride improved with it on. Surprised the AirSuspension held up with the downball weight. Was a 5 seater which I preferred. Gold (champagne or whatever it’s called). over beige leather. AC compressor seized, shredded belt, left me stranded towing a trailer and vehicle full of stuff. $3500 AUD just for the damm compressor.
i remember when i wanted a 300bhp build for my a5 2.0tdi i got violated when you told me to just buy a 3.0 tdi ahahah, v8 tdi does sound mental tho i need one in my life
To throw back to 1990’s America, that sounds gnarly. So used to hearing pickup trucks with trash can sized exhaust tips and they sound like trash. This beast is just musical. Kudos!
As a 15 year old 16 next year (2025) im planning to buy one of these if my PC reselling business continues on its tight path. Right now i have a a6 2.4 2006 witch still is in pretty good shake but this has alwaya been my dream car and il be thrilled if i get one. I am quite worried about repairs I can’t do on my own and the repair costs. Awesome build featured in the video and great video as always!!! 👍👍 Sorry for any misspelling I’m Swedish
I have 2014 Q7 4.2 TDI V8 CCFC engine. Just ordered the timing chain kit, I’m tempted to change it to straight pipe exhaust when changing the chains. I love how this one sounds, “The Beast ROARING “❤❤❤❤
It’s the “mental spud van” I’d say now it sounds Monstrous 💪🏼💨💨 It does sound pretty damn amazing, I’d never have the stereo on if was mine. Cracking job lads, especially from Reuben 👍🏼
Sweet jesus. We have come a long way since dirty diesel non TD Cavalier's and Sierra's that taxi drivers drove in 3rd gear and no poke but plenty of smoke!
Woow how you push that gas pedal is so wow. And the Sound at 15:02 and at 15:10 is woow. I really love it 😍❤️👌 I hope I will see more from you a very cool gas sound and a good gas pedal sound. 🙏🏻
My man wants to insulate outside.. big job breaking out at DD 😅.. top video lads sounds mega!! Got a 3.0 530d wanting hybrid turbo whacking on, will be in the Dms 😂🙌🏻
Hi, I would like to ask you, the q7 4.2 tdi has a 0c8 transmission, the Porsche 958 also has a 0c8 (hybrid transmission). Do you think there is any chance of upgrading the 958 hybrid gearbox straight away?
Its frappin pretty good. as a true test I would love to have (cowboy alert) any north American half ton truck with straight pipes beside it. I'm a truck guy but they make the ears bleed if you are not seated inside.
11:24 when you tighten flex plate you should lock crankshaft as you turned a bit engine clockwise, thats risk of skip chain on sprocket and wrong timing
@@DarksideDevelopments try that again on timing with no cover and you'll se how quickly tensioners are going back and losing tension, that's risky move
i've drove my bmw e36 2.5 tds with straight pipe in the Netherlands, a lot of people complimented it for the sound! you can check the video i have in my channel, you guys are not uset to straight piped diesels! ;)
Would be interesting to hear in person, in video doesn’t sound too special. Personaly i prefer straight six diesel sound like bmw or merc just can’t beat that. Anyway great work guys!
@@DarksideDevelopments No doubt it makes more noise, but it’s not all about the noise, also what kind of resosnace it creates. Nevertheless great video, curious what kind of noise v12 gonna make 😁

No need to turn this political. Yes, tuned diesel engines are a lot of fun, but it's also understandable that it's ending.

Loud outside, quiet inside and is not giving everyone behind it a big, black smoke screen, this is how you tune a mf diesel.
That doesn't seem to be this vehicle, I'd hate to be driving behind it.
My 3.0TDI A4 sounds similar to a GTR its mad how these V TDIs sound
😂
EVEN MORE MENTAL ,WHAT A JOB,WELL DONE CHAPS 👍😉💪
Sounds insane crazy how quiet it is inside
Hats off to Reuben that must of been a daunting job tackling that well done that lad 👏

I keep talking myself out of bringing my 4.2tdi to you guys but you keep tempting me 🤣
I drive the V8 diesel (in a Porsche Cayenne). It is gorgeous!
Same here. Not the second gen with all the extra emissions control.
Can confirm: sounds really Men all

i think it sounds mental bro 😜👍
11:24 when you tighten flex plate you should lock crankshaft as you turned a bit engine clockwise, thats risk of skip chain on sprocket and wrong timing
I doubt turning the crank would cause it to skip the timing!

It's sounds like petrol engine man, its mental how you can make diesel to sound like petrol. Amazing...
Wow makes me wanna get one
i learned a new word today - Menl - Scottish for Mental!
Would you be able to do this on an A8 d4 4.2 ?
Same engine so no reason why not
you should try straight pipe q7 6.0tdi :D
Might have to with our amarok 👀
*Did we get any of these yuge TDIs in the US? I haven't seen any. Obviously we got the 1.9, 2.0 and 3.0 but yeah*
Don't believe the 4.2 was available in the US unfortunately!

Did Reuben get a go in it as he had to figure out all the chains and sprockets?
We might let him!
It sounds fucking nuts 😂 excuse my French, cracking job as always 👍
"mental" pretty much nails it
The sound of thunder
Having bought gaskets and screws from the dealer, that alone has to be close to 500-1000 bucks in screws, sprokets and gaskets
Every video is worth a like ❤
Love to know how big that bill was?
Am sitting darn grimey bypass watch you lads tear up an darn in these cars your building 😂😂 💪🏻💥💪🏻
I am so close to pulling the pin on the Porsche Cayenne with the 4.2 , you can be assured I will be giving you guys a visit if I do :D
Definitely should bring it along! We'll work our magic ;)
@@DarksideDevelopments I literally wouldn't take a derv anywhere else.
Oh thats nice, have you guys ever done the V10 TDI and V12 TDI with that type of exhaust?
Our V10 had straight pipes then we swapped to an x-pipe. Got a video here showing the comparison - ruclips.net/video/q65WiVugnSM/видео.html
@@DarksideDevelopments the V8 is way angrier. Both are awesome but V8 is epic, more thunder than Gwagon
That’s what I dinosaur sounds like in my mind
