When you were a wee boy:(, fook showing my age now:(:(, I was running a mk1 golf gti with a 2 1/2" straight through pipe, and fook me was it LOUD!!!!
But likes been said petrol/diesel are different, but am sure the plods would have something to say about it, but,
Try it and if you get pulled just stick a few cherry bombs in there to show willing:naughty:naughty
I heard a SWB Terrano with a straight through pipe and it sounded fantastic. Its more like a whoosing sound from a jet engine. Its not loud as such not like the tossers that go up and down my street with the dustbin lid style exhausts on.
On mine iv only got the small middle section and the cherry bomb on the back and to be honest i can not tell the difference. I wish i had gone the whole hog and binned the lot. :doh

Cheers, I got an angle grinder and some cash, gonna get a starter motor then shocks, I want to get a body lift but I'm now allowed:doh also make an exhaust. :thumb2
don't bother with a body lift unless your getting big tyres. Better spending the money on some tyres that fit standard height that are better offroad. Like all terrains or some all-round mud tyres with road manners like KL71s, STTs etc
Can be picked up pretty cheap 2nd hand.
