There are 2 on your car, they sit either side of the gearbox underneath.

The question of removal is dependent on the annual vehicle test you have to pass in your country. Do they test emissions and if so how strict is it?

If they don't test emissions or its quite lenient then take them off.

Very sad to say that emission test is non existent here. I may know about emission test but trust me no one cares.

If it will make the vehicle move well. I will take them off. Can i get replacement, how much do they cost. I feel responsible and must secure the ozone layers.

Cheers

You can replace them but they're expensive. I presume that if you don't need one (or two) then you just need to have someone make a straight-through downpipe for you?  :-\

Probably increase a bit but cause you live in Middle East I wouldn't worry about that as petrol is about 5p a gallon ;D ;D
