Exhaust system

Justin10

I have noticed recently that my middle box of my exhaust is catching speed bumps. I got under and noticed it has dropped a lot. Cant see how it has happened. If I took the middle box off I know make it louder but would it have any other effects and would I pass an NCT without it?
Thanks.

It'll only get a little louder, and you will pass NCT with it.

None as long as you have a straight pipe going back to your cat!

I've a full straight-through system and Garda don't pull me over?



OP, what car is it?

If you need someone to make you up a straight pipe, check out www.custommetalwork.ie

Its only a 1.5 almera so didnt think be a big deal. How loud we talking like boy racer glanzas?? I can live with loud just not sounding like im trying to annoy people ha.
Thanks for the link, gone to souhans in trim before but that place could be handier to get to.

Nowhere near as loud as that!

I had a 2.5" system on my car until the other week...I got those lads to make me up a 2" system without the middle section and she's a lot quieter!


Until I open her up that is...;) :P


You'd be looking at getting a 1.5" system I'd say though, and you're standard backbox won't be loud as it is, so you'll be fine

Not a standard back box on it at the minute. Thanks for the help lads. Il take it off and see what happens ha.
