TDI Back Pressure Explained

Hello,

Okay, I've already searched the forum for information about back pressure, but I didn't find what I was looking for. I'd like to know how the back pressure is affected in a TDI (90 hp) 1Z engine (manufactured in 8/94) if I replace the original catalytic converter with an aftermarket exhaust system (63 mm diameter). Or, what if I use an MSD replacement pipe and then an aftermarket ESD exhaust? Does this damage the engine? And what about the sound? Can you get a sound similar to a gasoline engine?

Best regards,
Carsten

P.S.: This weekend, there's a BERU TOP 10 event in Oschersleben. I'll go there and ask the Alfa Diesel people what kind of system they have installed. And I'll listen to how it sounds. It's just a JTD, but the sound should be roughly the same.

Hello,
'I was in Oschersleben yesterday and noticed that they only have a single pipe as an exhaust. The diesel engine wasn't necessarily louder. And the mechanic said that the back pressure regulates itself. I can't quite recall all the details.'
But if you install a better exhaust system, you should get a slightly better sound.

Best regards,
Carsten

P.S.: I was told that the racing diesel engine lasts for approximately 2,000 kilometers.

hi!
I have a replacement exhaust pipe from MSD installed under my 1Z, along with a stainless steel ESD (electrostatic discharge) muffler. The car has become a bit louder, and the sound is more muffled.
I would try to use as few mufflers as possible on the diesel engine.
The replacement pipe allows the loader to accelerate a bit faster, or at least that's what I think.
These are my experiences.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

'MFG' is an abbreviation for 'mit freundlichen Grüßen,' which means 'best regards' or 'sincerely.' It is commonly used in German-language emails and letters.
