sorry to hijack this thread even further but just one last question! All the fellas that have done this have got diesels will it be ok to do on a petrol v8?
The rear 'silencer' is actually a resonator. Some people have said that the noise at higher revs is annoying. Normally people remove the centre silencer and leave the resonator in place, which makes a much better sound.Les.

However as both silencers on the tdi are 'straight throughs' there isn't a lot in it performance wise. I did try it with both silencers out but at the std diameter it's just too noisy!If you increase the diameter to 2½-3" you can get away with it.On the V8 it does get noisy if you chop out the front box which I did on my old pick-up (no rear cabin meant no resonance) but on Shed I have 2 straight throughs and side exit and it sounds lovely. :D
