I have just thought about this, could i cut a section of exhaust out of the breaker car, and have it welded in as some point into my car?
Although would the MOT man look suspicously at weld marks on the exhaust?

he might but there's sod all he can do about it.
u would need the internal diameter of the new pipe to be the same as the external diameter of the old one so u can sleeve it on to the 2 bits of pipe and weld it in place.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Weld marks mean nothing mate.

ithink u couid just Gut out another cat and it wouid give out better performance straight piping is better but if you dont want all the messing just clear out the internals of another c.a.t and throw that on,

well i still have this other car with its cat.
But i think the best thing will be to let jamjar do it first and do what he does.
