MKV Mufflerectomy complete

My humble/amateur opinion is that will be fine tbh.

Anyone done this to a DPF equipped TDI? I need to do something like this on my GT because I've got an R32 rear bar for it now so Its the easiest way to get the outlets to go out the centre.

The DPF is the first part after exhaust manifold, so you shouldn't have any problems with deleting the rear muffler.

Any legal issues with removing the muffler?

Technically most likely.

In practice all it is there for is noise reduction, but as the noise does not dramatically increase I can't see an issue.

not unless it made the car too noisy, in the case of the diesels, it doesn't.

shouldn't be an issue. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it got pulled up in a roadworthy inspection...(imo)

I had been pulled up before for having a muffler chopped out. If the car is complianced with 3 mufflers it is meant ot have them there. In saying that though, before I got pulled up I was of the same opinion as Mik. It's all about noise and it's still under the legal limit, why bother?

I wouldn't worry too much though, it was an 80 buck fine.
