Will it be too loud for the m.o.t with the centre box deleted?

Ashley exhausts are ok but aimed at the cheaper end of the market, would not be my choice.

I bloody hate them with the mid box removed, its how i used to have mine and it just sounded like a chav haha

folk used to laugh at it so it had to go.

I now prefer to be able to hear the engine and Turbo over a constant groan from the rear end

It's a shame you can't get Sebring any longer as ive been more than satisfied with mine and the tailpipes design is rather smart and descrete.

As I said mine in the past had 1 small backbox only, I might go for a small straight silencer if it's way too loud but I think it'll be ok, the current backbox is mahoosive.

don't know much about this exhaust but i read recently that having a full stainless system is better for performance over a mild steel system.. apparently stainless keeps the heat in better creating a higher velocity flow. anyone know if this is actually true?

I doubt it very much. I bet both metals would read the same temperature after 1 hour of driving.

Titanium on the other hand....

I've bought a stainless centre section. It's the centre pipe with a small silencer and a middle pipe with another small silencer. Should sound pretty sweet.
