Hughsie, have you thought about just getting the exhaust mod done (i.e. baffles taken out and straight through pipes welded in).
No increase in power but (IMHO) the sound is so much better - lots of pops and crackles on the overrun too.
Mine cost me £120 @ Austec...
Thats what i want, Cheers Nuggs

Yo hughesie must send you pictures it looks so cool. Just a thought seeing your car is yellow how about covering it in a nice Burberry check and some nice gold badges to match your Burberry baseball cap and chunky gold jewellery, you would could be King Chav with that lot.

Sad question. I like the sound of making the car a *bit* louder. Is it legal or will I need to replace parts for MOT. If so what parts need to be replaced as it is 'resting'.
Good news! It's legal...*
Disclaimer: I know eff-all about motoring law but my investigations lead me to believe that sports pipes are not illegal per se. However, there would be a possible breach of the peace-type action if you were to rev the nuts off it outside a hospital at 4am say...

Just had mine MOT'd for the 2nd time since the baffles were removed. It passed with flying colours, thanks for asking. For the record, there is no part of the current car MOT test that includes noise measurement. You could have straight through pipes if you wanted and it would still pass its MOT.
The old Bill might not be too impressed though. I've never had any problems in mine though.

i've got the "straight pipe through" conversion. Had no problems with police. been followed closely a couple of times but not stopped (although i wasn't making it pop and bang at the time).
