I'm going to do it to mine as soon as it stops being broken - I'll document what I do, and make jigs so I can repeat it
By straight pipe, do you mean a straight through style muffler (so a straight perforated pipe with sound deadening still in the box)?
Or straight solid pipes replacing the muffler?

I had a straight through cat back system on my old V8 Commodore. Single system 2.5" straight through muffler and resonator.
Sounded bloody fantastic and I'd love to repeat the experience with the S8.

The S8 is a single pipe between the two boxes yes? Is it 63mm (ie: 2.5")?
It would be quite easy to get an exhaust place to make up a straight through resonator with off the shelf piping and box.
So long as there's a resonator there, it shouldn't fail MOT there should it?

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
