After being advised not to I had the two boxes that sit opposite each other cut out and larger bore pipe inserted & welded in place leaving only the little rear muffler in line.

Going down a terraced narrow road with parked cars either side is a bit loud to say the least, but that is 6k in 2nd. On the open road without excessive revs and I would doubt if I would get stopped. Maximum revs/load and the noise is what I have been dreaming of since childhood, which was a long, long time ago I know. And considering all it is even quieter inside tha you would think hearing it from the outside, ok a bit boomy at low revs but then I do not care.

One case of road rage since conversion, BMW 328i convertible with window down emergency braked me below 40 mph as he obviously did not like the noise. Claimed he knew all about oze motors and had my number - my reply is not printable.
