It took me about half a day.

And there's nowt dodgy bout my MOT BoB. What's tested is security, leaks, smoke and non-excessive noise - it passes on all counts. So fook off.

mine to... with a cherry bomb. so **** off to

I wonder if they test the hearing on Vehicle Technicians wot do MOT tests.... this could explain it.

I thought, from something I read probably about 30 years ago, that having no back pressure in the exhaust reduces performance as the Inlet tract should be balanced with the Exhaust tract to create the best gas flow, and at least in a petrol engine an open exhaust burns the exhaust valves.

But it does look good Trewey, even with the bodge.

aye true enough, specialy fer petrols, i have'nt seen any difference in mine apart from it picks up better, yer can always just get shut of the back box to start with, see how it runs,
then cut the front one out and pipe it up at a later date. on the older 90 / 110's it just a pipe after all, i would now rather make me own custom over buying a cheapo any day

wot clamps did you use 2 hold it all together and fix it 2 the car?? Or was it just a bit of gaffa??

my side exit zorst exits at the rear quarter panel as high as i could get it..rear box removed but dont sound any different..the centre box is the next to be removed so it will be straight thru..we done my mates bobtail disco with a straight thru zorst and it sounds loads better the turbo seems to perform better and acceleration is noticeably better

Back pressure and turbos dont really mix. Even on petrol engines its a trade off between whats legal (noise wise) and cost.
The turbo itself is a restriction in the exhaust flow so whatever you do after the turbo dont really matter with regards to the speed in getting the exhaust gases away from the engine.
However it will allow the turbo to spin up faster which is good for performance.
Diesels thrive on big bore low restriction exhausts.

thats good news then, cheers Shifty

Isn't that the plain truth?

And twice as true if it's got a turbo.
