Don't worry too much bout what Ginge's sayin, Alex's was loud (sounded identical to Faye's as same engine & same exhaust )

Never had a problem MOT time or wit the plod. I de-baffled my old Cossie system & hated the sound of it !! Not keen on Rs turbo's either if I'm honest, sounds nice low rev's, but full bore sounds orrible. honestly !! I had mine like that years & so did Alex, never had a prob.

Regarding power etc, you might find it a little laggy'er as less back pressure (back pressure helps spool on a decent system), so car might loose a little midrange, but gain power up the top !!

On an Rs turbo, I honestly don't think you can beat the sound of a Scorpion pipe !!

Hope this helps ya Paul !!
