Straight through exhaust

[Fusion1]

Needing a bit more volume from the car and my wife is giving me the Evil eye for planing all my upgrades so soon after buying the car so what's the best option -straight through, cut open old exhaust and take all the bits out, wondered if this has been done before or is it a real bad idea. Just booked a service and new tyres so a jp is out the question for now.

Thanks all

Second hand T350 box on the classifieds? JP/Power/Racing Green cans sound great. I would do the cans first and if its still too quite consider de-cats or new Pipes, IIRC JP do a largebore set of pipes.

ACT decat pipes and a back box of unknown origin, contrary to what i thought it is definitely not a JP system; it has two seperate small silencers, does anyone recognise this system? anyway it's 98dB on tickover and over 120dB at about 5000 revs, quite loud

TVR Power/Racing Green (same I believe) are 2 small bean cans rather than a box with a balance pipe. They weigh about as much as a postage stamp so I guess there is not a lot inside them! Yes it is loud so my neighbours tell me......

So it's ok to open the standard back box, take everything out. It's not going to do any damage to engine or make it sound like a tractor lol.

Don't think you can split it. Had a good look at mine and can't see where you could open it.
