I escaped and changed the last rear subframe bush on my mondeo, removed the exhaust and welded up the hole in it, then chopped down a stainless dtm style silencer and bashed that onto the remains of the exhaust system, all undisturbed!

If bringing the interior of the Scirocco into the kitchen and cleaning it with the VAX counts, then yes. ;D
