    Hi Jay is it legal though lol i only have the 3inch cat back at the minute with 2 250mm silencers i dont think there long enough to dull the sound and im yet to build the front lol.Would a car pass an mot with no middle silencers lol.I set off from the traffic lights early this morning from a round about i had the police speed car on my right hand side and a riot van in front of him i pulled away and he didnt seem bothered in any way.My missus says she can hear me coming round the corner lol easy and knows its me which gets me worried

    I believe it can fail if the tester deems it to be excessive loud, but, at the moment they don't have decibel meters.

    I have put in another thread, my mate has the inserts in his Nissan 300zx, and, they don't seem to do anything!

    Try them, but I think your find adding another silencer is a better idea

    Hi Paul ive answered in the other thread lol ,im hoping it will dampen the noise abit better than it is now lol and if it does need another silencer it would be even better.It can only get better though even if i used the silencer thing.Did your mate notice any difference at all though Paul

    If i was to add another silencer it would have to be another 250mm jobby as there isnt alot of room to play with as it is lol

    What about taking the 2 out, and replacing them with one bigger one?

    That might help
