would there be any legality issues if you remove the middle box and replace it with a straight through section ?

just thinking out loud really, got a s/s mongoose system on the Si, wondered if it was legal (noise and MOT wise) to remove the middle box and have a s/s straight thru piece ?

comments welcome

it will make it deffo louder mate but its not illegal or a mot failure so go for it

[xander7]

cool, i've only recently bought the system, and i am really suprised how quiet it is, probably down to the fact the engine is sooo damn quiet !!

i like loudness, but nothing OTT, so a trip to powerflow might be in order !!

yeah deffo mate

my powerflow is enough for me

[xander7]

sounds like a plan to me !!!!

out of interest, how much did they charge ya for a full system, wanna roughly know what ill be looking at price wise!!

i think a full system with single tale pipe is 250ish

i payed 180 for my center exit back box

you mean a cat back pipe basically?

i had the middle box removed, and left cat in on my powerflow exhaust...

it was loud as

but i loved it, and goin back to get a cat back pipe onto my backbox soon!!!

£100 for the pipe and fitting

cool cheers for the info mate, yeah i basically want a straight thru centre section w/out the middle box, to make it a bit louder !!!

£100 sounds like what im prepared to pay, guess a phonecall is in order !!

cheers

although if you do decat, and leave middle box in, you still get the loudness, and more performance, just means the hassle of puttin it in for the mot.

surely by removing ur middle silencer u will lose compression in ur engine making it slower!!!!!!! bad move if u ask me. yeah it will make it louder!!!!! but do u realy wanna go slower?

ur best bet wud prob be to remove ur cat and keep ur 2 silencer boxes. thats wot im gonna do.

ask powerflow they will know.

i bought a full asley system for my 16v 2i(cat back) and got the mid silencer cut out and then two flat plates welded on to the mid section were the silencer was then a straight pipe with flat bits at the end goes in with som gaskets(corn flakes packet) an got the silcer welded to adapt so if it fails for being too loud then i can just change it in 15mins cost 120 wasa gonna cost 40 for just cuttoing the mid silencer out and welded
