You will get a producer and have to get the car checked over within a week to make sure it is road legal - ya know, all the standard stuff that happens when your exhaust is too loud e.t.c... You might get a worse punnishment, because a car with no exhaust is un roadworthy, and would fail an MOT. Not recomended

started it up with out the manifold for a minute while i was stripping it out of the calibra.
was indeed a piss take.

gotta get it to the exhaust place somehow though hey

shit suppose i'd better send off the v5 and change the insurance before i even think about doing that.

time to invest in ear plugs then.
don't like the sound of £60 fine, but logistically, i don't think i'll be able to get it sorted straight away.

i was going to mention this...mates exhaust sat ever so slightly behind the rear bumper rather than slightly out and the fumes kept rising into the car...

Drove mine about with no backbox with just the scorpian system and it's loud!!

Leagalities tho are that the exhaust must exit at the rear of the car (to pass mot anyway)
