mk3 8v budget exhaust project feedback and ideas wanted

[remapped]

hey all

for a while i have been driving the golf whit a knacked exhaust system and now its blowing in every possible joint and corner and the cat is rattling !!!  the sound is getting unforgeable.

ok the main reason i haven't changed it all,  is due to cost ! but i wanted to see if i could fix this on a budget of £ 150- 200

so far i have manged to get the following

janspped decat pipe form ebay £40 sent to my door
volksbits center replacement pipe £25 sent to door as well !!

budget cost so far £65



the next step is to find a good back box do i get a nice SS one or could i get away whit using a standard one and spraying it up black ?? keeping it stealth looking

what do you all think of the set up so far ?

Would that decat pipe pass an MOT?

And does that other pipe replace the center box?

[remapped]

mot !! i will need to put the cat back !! 

yep the pipe replaces the center box hope it wont be to loud and effect the back pressure

ahh i see, as my mot is soon, but that pipe replacing the centre box would fix my center box with the hole! lol.

if you use the standard back box it wont increase noise massively... all though fitting a sports back box will get you noticed! I was in 2 minds as wether to buy the pipe but thought i would see how my backbox was first and i like the noise it gives

So replacin the center box with the pipe wil make it much louder? Also will it affect emmisions at all? Make it less mot worthy?
