When I broke up my last s2 I let someone come round and remove the rear pipes and check they worked before I sold them

Could see if someone breaking one will do the same

Rear compensators will only work right if:-

1. You have std size 15in wheels.
2. Std height springs
3. they actually work and not seized or faulty which is very likely being 25 years old.

this post will help you.
