I think on a deisel getting a bigger/loader exhaust might sound a bit weird. It has been done though - it just depends if you like the sound or not. If i were you a simple backbox would be a good option - not too load (if you get a small one) and looks pretty gd. Other than that as its a deisel emissions ain't an issue so you could even go the whole way and get a decatted straight through pipe

Wouldnt a straight through pipe be even louder than a big backbox m8?

Yeh thats what i kinda meant. I guess i just wasnt very clear my bad. If you like the sound and the engine note then a straight through pipe would be better but if you wanted it to be reasonably quiet than a backbox is more suited for you
Soz about that - i wasnt very awake earlier 2day lol
