Title: Deleting mid box
Post by: andy_vw on 25 November 2012, 16:28

hi guys what effect would this have on my mk3 gti, my mid box is shot and and im thinking shall i just delete the bugger rather than fork out the money for a stock replacement- would it effect my emissions at all?

thanks guys!

Will be loud at motorway speeds, like a V1.
I have a custom centre pipe on my full SS system behind the cat which does some muffling and a back box, its annoying after a while :grin:

This is what an 8v sounds like on the M23 to Brighton

Will make it louder but will not affect emissions.
