put flanges on either side of the pipes so you can put the box back on for mot purposes or such like

u can use a straight bit of pipe from an old exhaust.

No need to keep the middle box for MOT.

in my experience, removing the middle box and keeping the cat make's little differnece, not worth doing if your keeping the cat, as you'll find the noise level is bearly noticable.

i removed the centre box from mine, dont do it

1) it was no louder
2) the exhaust became really raspy
3) the car made less power on a rolling road afterwards
