Is there a Performance difference on SD4 pure & dynamic?

Does anyone know if there is a performance difference between the Pure SD4 and a Dynamic SD4 please ?

Reason I ask is Becuase I recently changed the rear bumper on the my Pure for the one on a Dynamic. which ment I needed a new exhaust as its different so I'm told. Having had the car back after 2 weeks and it does sound different to me. Now not sure if I'm just imagine it as the last 2 weeks I'm been driving an awful loan car.

Car feels much more smoother when you put your foot down to. I've not driven a dynamic before so not sure what that drives like.

thanks

RE: Is there a Performance difference on SD4 pure & dynamic?

Should be only visual differences fam1x no power differences. I think you might be imagining the exhaust note is different! In theory, with all the extra weight of goodies on the Dynamic it should be slower than a standard Pure. Mind you that extra diffuser on the back now must be good for a few seconds off the 0-60 and improve the road holding a lot, imagine you could improve it more by adding the aeroflip spoiler...................Wink Laughing

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I've never heard the sound of my exhaust, too much wind noise.....

You may have had updated software while the car was in... improving the feel or responsiveness... (I think there has been an improvement on Auto box cars...?) this would change your perception. If all they've done is change the exhaust box at the back then it'll not make any noticable difference other than maybe slight sound. So it's probably just the step change from the loaner.

fam1x,

Did you change from a sinlge pipe to dual pipe exhaust?
Might sound different due to this, and perhaps a 'bit' more free flowing, but I doubt there would be much difference. Lucky to get 1bhp more, but may feel smoother. But them again it could equally be your imagination.
