There's no point in really trying to disguise the fact it's diesel, the black smoke is a real giveaway

you can get them, but they become annoying after a bit, cos they are dumping all the time due to the small rev range. They sound ok, but i would get annoyed with one after a while...

see derv doctor for more info...

Dump valve on a diesel is like a dump valve on a non turbo petrol.
Its just connected to the break vacuum and a solenoid. Nothing like one on a turbo petrol.
Why would that make any difference to buying a car though?

You can get DVs for a diesel, and they dont sound too bad on the more modern cars, however the way Diesel engines/Turbos work means that it would be entireley useless and a waste of money which could go towards something decent like a remap.
Miltek make good exhausts for VAG diesels, they allow for the performance aspect of a third party exhaust but will not make you sound like a cunt

You're thinking of buying a car based on the fact it could have a DV

You have a baby and your buying a car based on the fact it has a dump valve.
You have to be kidding.
