You'd suggest the TD setup and eliminate the centre box then?

It's the twiddly bit over the axle that is tricky. I expect I could weld the straight through section OK but twiddly bits ...

Also I don't want to wreck what I've got and leave myself withouut a silencer at all - and I could see that happening!

Yep... I'd run a Td rear silencer... as the silencer is a straight through type, rather than having the more complex 200 and 300 tdi design that does a double pass through the rear silencer - and thus is quite restrictive.

I think the centre silencer is virtually the same for the Td and the 200Tdi so I'd just cut the large centre silencer out, and replace with a length of straight pipe... and then fit a Td rear box - which includes the over axle bend and does away with the smaller silencer that some 200tdi's have in between the centre box and rear tailpipe.

I hope that makes sense... sort of.
