    Looking for advice or experience on whether it is legal from an Mot point of view to remove the resonator box on my S4 B6 2003.
    Basically I want to give the car a better V8 exhaust note and having looked at various options i.e replace the system with a SS system which would be quite expensive I have also read that simply cutting out the resonator box and replacing with straight pipe does a good job on the exhaust note as well. My exhaust is in good condition so replacing it seems to me to be expensive and a bit of a waste so has anyone removed the resonator box and does anyone know if the car will still pass and Mot with the box removed??

    Thanks in advance........

    Can't help with your initial question, but I had a cat back made by MIJ Exhaust Systems Bespoke Stainless Steel Exhaust System guaranteed for life custom made exhaust system engine control unit remapping ECU remapping GTR GTS workshop based in Walsall West Midlands cheap exhaust system vehicle servicing for less than £400 a couple of years ago, their prices have gone up since, they make everything including the silencers, so they can tailor the sound, not as cheap as cutting out the centre box just for sound, I'd guess that if you removed it you could get quite a harsh sound, if you do you should put in a pipe between them, an H or an X pipe.
