Thanks but I'm convinced that there is one system that is one box only. The three box I have has the big spark arrestor at the back which makes it tricky to cut and weld.
Maybe someone else will be along shortly?

There is...
One large centre silencer only on some 300tdi 90's and some Wolfs. I did find the part number, but can't find it off hand. The rear pipe has no silencer, just an over axle bend.
Fitted to some earlier spec 90's.... but later ones had the two box system - i.e one large centre silencer, and the curly rear resonator box.... some 300Tdi's also have a CAT (well a filter) in the turbo downpipe.
As mentioned, the turbo downpipe is very different, as are the exhaust joining clamps (I think... is late!) - which means you would have to do a bit of cutting and shutting.
On a 200tdi, the other option is fit the Td spec rear silencer... which is a straight through rear set up (with a small silencer).... better than the 200tdi and later 300Tdi.
Personnaly I'd run a Td rear silencer/resonator and cut out the large centre silencer and replace it with straight through pipe.
This is the set up I used to run on my 200Tdi (actually, is now fitted to my mates 90!!)
Or the other option, which I started to do but never finished was to fit a Td5 exhaust which has the benefit of being a larger bore, and made from a variety of stainless steel. It will fit with a bit of cutting and shutting... I found it easier to make the turbo down pipe from scratch.
Again, if you fitted a Td5 exhaust I'd do away with a centre silencer, and just run the rear box.
