I wonder if they test the hearing on Vehicle Technicians wot do MOT tests.... this could explain it.
I thought, from something I read probably about 30 years ago, that having no back pressure in the exhaust reduces performance as the Inlet tract should be balanced with the Exhaust tract to create the best gas flow, and at least in a petrol engine an open exhaust burns the exhaust valves.
But it does look good Trewey, even with the bodge.
if the vehicle has a turbo all the back pressure it needs comes from the turbo, if you have back pressure after the turbo you will end up with the turbo not working to its full potential, also the turbo does a damn good impression of a silencer.
my cousins disco bobtail runs no silencing and thats not loud, sounds blurry lovely
