I've just fitted a stainless steel magnex backbox and i wanna replace the centre section. i've got a corsa b sxi and i wanna change the centre section for a straight through pipe. at the moment it got a silencer in the centre section. what i need to know is would it fail mot without this?, would it be too loud and i get pulled by the bab ? and last but not least where would i be able to get a centre section from ?.
Cheers for any feedback

you should put another silencer in it or it will sound crap, we have had people come in work asking for centre box to be taken out and then a couple of days later they come back to have one put back in.

yeah I've asked my local garage about this, but they said unless you got a 2.0 or more under the bonnet u shudn't take the centre silencer out. Either way u will lose back pressure causing a loss in power. However the noise will be louder. but on a 1.2 the power wud be reduced to even shitter than it is. I want a 2.0

u need the silencer there, so either buy a full stainless steel system, or else buy the sebring middle silencer for £70 & get that put in
u could get powerflow to knock u up one aswell but they will charge an arm & a leg
RobHayes:- all the centre silencers are the same throughout the corsa range (apart from the 1.0) so there is no benefit in getting a middle silencer of a sport
langey:- the 1.0 uses a smaller bore system than all the other corsa's so you are limited to what you can buy, but there is companies that offer a full ss system for the 1.0

takin out the centre section from a 1.2 works a treat, it pulls more, sounds better and it aint too loud. i just got the garage to cut a bit of tube with a slightly wider bore and fitted it over the original pipe. clamped both ends, then covered the gaps with gum gum. sounds sweeet! and only cost me £30

Took mine out cos it was scraping over speedbumps & in danger of bn ripped off. Got sebring straight thru c/s & b/box on my wee 12v puttydinger & no complaints, sounds nice as fuk but I think it's mainly down to the Sebring b/box. Only prob at mot was getting the emissions to drop quick enuf but passed ok.
