Is it a factory 200Tdi or a conversion?
Which part of the side panel. If you mean behind the rear well, then you'll have to ditch the rear silencer, although you could relocate it. If you mean between the door and rear wheel arch. Then you'll either have to straight pipe it or completely custom fab up a silencer. Both likely to increase noise, the one by the door more so. Esp if you have the windows down.
Also worth noting that cutting a hole in the body tub is a one way mod. You won't be able to easily 'undo' it.

Messy yes - and the MOT tester gets the arse about a) offensive to pedestrians and cyclists and b) Can’t keep the emissions probe inserted in the exhaust….
Ha, like it.

& the mrs gets all the noise/smoke & dirt as she walks into side of the motor
My 200tdi 90 had a rear quarter panel exit so when at maximum articulation (had a twist-kit fitted) it didn’t rip the tail pipe off, it had a custom fab pipe that deleted the back box.
Centre pipe silencer delete made it too loud so refitted the silencer mid pipe. Downside of this setup was that rain got into the outlet when parked and sprayed corrosive sooty water out on start-up. Fitted a rubber flap over the outlet to fix it.
The exit behind passenger door tends to delete all the silencers and just makes a Landy too noisy
So vanity or decibels basically….

@Milleme , from one 200tdi owner to another, keep it standard. The 2x boxes are there for a reason. With standard diameter exhaust the engine won't sound "sportier..." and side exiting is just plain silly. + standard 200tdi exhaust system are dirt cheap from GT/Regis exhaust in the Midlands https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/regisexhausts

As for exhausts
Mine exits out the rear but the Last box has been removed as the water spray rots it off.length is the same.
