Removal of front silencer (Milltek Cooper S)

Has anyone removed, or know anyone who has the forward silencer on a cat back milltek, was just thinking it could maybe be a bit louder, but dont want to ruin it!

Any advice would be great!

Cheers

Nick

Cool! I dont want it to be too loud, but wouldnt mind a bit more volume

What was making me think, is that the Play Mini was available with or without the front silencer when i bought one for my cooper (I went for the latter )

Well the Can's on mine are smaller than the Miltek and mines doesn't have a front silencer. However the one rick has has smaller cans than mine!

they aren't proper silencers, just straight through resonators for max flow but it is louder like that

if you remove the front box it will become a bit more boomy and they seem to pop more
