Straight through pipe - legal ?

(1/4) > >>

At Driffield I purchased stainless downpipe to remove the CAT, also stainless middle pipe that gets rid of the centre box for my 300tdi Discovery.
I was going to put a stainless rear pipe with silencer on, but have started thinking - do I need a rear silencer ? Would a straight through pipe pass an MOT?
Would it be too loud ? I'm thinking the turbo knocks most of the noise out.

What do you think ?
Anyone else done it ?

yes we had a customer with a disco 300, which had a straight through 4" bore exhaust and had de-cated passed 5 MOTs

Paul:
I've got a straight through pipe on my 300tdi, Never had a problem with the MOT and it sounds loverly  :D

wheels244:
Thanks Ben

4"  :shock:

I think mine is 2".
What did that one sound like ? I don't want mine to sound like a tractor  8-[

wheels244:
Cheers Paul.

I think you've just swung the idea of fitting a side exit exhaust with no silencing  :dance:
Out with the TIG welder  :D
