Milltek exhaust system - removing centre silencer

[Ben-B 0]

I've not looked at it in detail, but I did notice when looking under the car that the centre silencer on my Milltek system is huge, and there's quite a lot of corners and piping for the exhaust gases to go round.

 

Would removing the centre silencer (and replacing it with a straight stainless steel tube of the same bore) improve the flow of the system, and therefore improve the performance.

 

I know it'd make it louder, but hopefully not too loud

You could always keep the centre silencer and have it routed the same as JMC has his:

I think you'll be getting the best of both worlds then

That looks a lot more of a direct route than mine :lol:

 

What I really need to do is get it on some ramps and get some pictures and get a good look under mine myself
