Cav Exhaust
The centre box on my cav has gone. Does any one see a problem with ditching it for a straight section of pipe?

My cav box went too when i had the GSI, put a straight section in, went better and sounded even better

thought you'd be the first. Saves welding on a flange and salvaging it. No MOT probs?

Not sure about the center box, but i've known the back box of an SD1 replaced for a length of straight pipe.
It was enough to fool one person into thinking that it was the v8 model when it was only a desiel.

My dad had 3 SD1's in succession, all 3.5 V8's. When the exhaust went on one of those you knew about it.

Just finished butchering the exhaust and it sounds ok. After what date are cats mandatory? Think it might go the same way if poss.

If the car was registered after 1st August 1992, then it will be given a cat test (with a few exemptions, relating mainly to imports). It does not
have to physicaly have a cat, but chances are it won't pass the test without one.

My mum had a cav which lost a section of exhaust. I think the most noise came from the pipe dragging along the ground
