My exhaust is leaking, its been on previous mot certificates, Ive just left it and left it, I dont want to just stick on another standard exhaust, what have you guys done? I dont want to remove the cat as Im sure the law now says if a cat was fitted originally then it needs to have one? So I was thinking
Option 1 ____Cat______straight through______using a mid box at the end__
Or would that be too noisy?
Option 2 ___Cat____midbox____midbox__

Okay so.... its probably going to pass emissions regardless of whether it actually has a cat or not. Depending on the MOT tester they may want to see the cat on there. The key there is that its a visual inspection... So either get a decat and friendly MOT tester or get a cat... cut it open and remove all the insides!
After the cat/decat youre on the right track. Straight through and mid box conversion on the rear would be my preference!

Mines a Hoffman decat, a new bosal mid section, and the old mid section at the back, the hanging bracket off the old backbox was a cradle that I pryed off the corroded box and now the mid section rests in that secured with a massive jubilee.
Oh and a 'friendly tester'

I've left my back box off until i move the mid box into the back of it
