That's more difficult to say. They cost between about £60 and £90 which puts them in the same price area as a de-cat downpipe - this I know to be be worth the money in terms of engine resonsiveness and improved mpg. The silicone hoses...................well, they hold the air in, don't they?

Same here, but I've kept mine in me shed 'just in case' it has to be refitted by law one day!!

Front pipe allready decated thinking about centre pipe now,heard people say its noisy but if it masks the row the td5 makes might be next step

Are you saying your engine is noisy? My TD5 is remarkably quiet, for a diesel.

My mate has a straight-through centre section on his TD5 and the exhaust noise level is significantly louder, to the extent that even though I have one in the shed I have not fitted it yet.

I find mine noisy ok when torque is locked but viscus and engine way too loud dont know if needs looking at as got nothing to compare it too
