how hard do you recon it would be?
if i got like a straight bit of pipe and cut the silencer out of my pipe?
ino it would be abit of a bodge
but must be cheaper than takin it to a exhaust place

im thinking of doing this if u cut the pipe out and put the pipe could u get away with puting two exhaust clamps each side or isit a case of welding it?

What would it do to the performance as i did it to my 998cc mini with a straight through exhaust which gave a dead throaty sound but i have been told getting rid of the mid box lowers the back pressure recking performance wic i am unsure whether it is true or not????
