    Under your car, at the centre section (i believe) you have your cat, which is need to pass the MOT, if you remove this its just a straight through pipe. So the gas doesn't have to pass through anything in order to escape your exhaust. Therefore making the sounds much louder! Look at www.kam-racing.co.uk they have a supersprint centre section for sale for £62 but make sure you get the race version!

    Cheers

    get an enclosed one if its open air its not good for the car, draws hot air and probs loses bhp, get an enclosed one and a de cat mate.

    he wants a "deeper roar" mate, an enclosed wont provide that an open one will, if he doesnt want performance then an open one it is

    Yep pred is right, my mate has the open one and it does make an incredibly throat noise, however my closed one does produce a fine roar too!

    like every one sed get an induction kit. i had same problem and wanted to de-cat it but then wont pass the mot. if like mine you have another box in the middle of the system then get that removed. it made mine quite abit louder and cost £40 from powerflow in leicester.

    MOT is what once a year? so get a de-cat and jus chnage it for the mot, and then u got an excuse to get under the car and give it a tidy up! My thoughts only or...

    if you've just had it fitted give it fair chance to bed in mate. when i've put new exhausts on my car it always takes about 2 weeks to sound bedded in. after a couple of weeks it will sound deeper.

    no it doesn't damage it, it is called "race" because it will de cat the car so it shouldn't be used on the road.
