Removing center silencer

[Changed]

So my issue... The exhaust has been in blowing on my 182 the center silencer is rusted and leaking..., I either buy a new system (good group buy ATM, but really can't afford it) or my local garage has recommended for a mere £50-60 they will remove the silencer, fabricate a new section and replace.

to me it's a no brainer and then buy a ss system when I'm richer :S

I am a little worried about if it would be too noisy or mess up the power, I have noticed it sluggish since it's been blowing and hitting the limiter really early...

it'll be fine
if you find its hitting the limiter early is probably because the car is cold.

when cold they limiter is reduced to reduce the damage done to the engine!

Its going to be noisier if you remove a silencer but how much by and how much you could tolerate no idea.

If you can't afford a full SS I would buy a universal silencer from ebay. Can be had cheap and just get the garage to weld it in.

Yeah blowing exhausts lose you power and drop the mpg

Shouldn't be any louder than it is when blowing.
Get it done!

I had mine removed the other day and debated long and hard as to go without a silencer but in the end went with one, sounds normal now although I guess if I went without one I'm sure it would have been quieter than when it was blowing... that was seriously loud!

Thx guys.. I'll give it a go for now as it fits money wise. Hopefully the as system can follow soon

I don't have a center silencer and it isn't that much louder than when it did.

I really need to pull my finger out and have my centre silencer removed. Mk3s sound raspy as f**k without it
