Center silencer removal

[Ryanpotter]

I've been seeing a few 197's have had there Center silencer replaced with a straight pipe , just a few question if people would be kind enough to answer :-
Would this damage the rear box ?
Would this decrease performance ?
Does this make it sound better ?
Would it pass an mot without one ?
Roughly how much would a garage charge to do this ?
Thank you in advance if people reply

As your in Essex give Bob a ring at Torque of the South Motorsport in Southend. He can sort that out and maybe give you some advice on some other mods for the future. He has just bought himself a 197 so he can race me in my 172. His number is 077 2336 1027 tell him I sent you and that you are on the clio sport forum and try your luck at getting a discount
