After speaking to FOCA on here and him saying the backbox on the mondeo was quite restrictive, I thought I'd have a go at removing the lump of metal.

Took my trusty angle grinder to it. The car is more responsive and seems a bit more willing to get going now!

Top tip FOCA thumps up to you my friend.

On a side note I've got rid of my strange loose feeling on the back. Never guess what it was!! Exhaust mounts for the back box was shot and not connected anymore. The excessive movement of the exhaust was causing the rear near side to feel like it was breaking loose

Yeah, FOCA seems to know his stuff!

Ok My Ears are Pricked up Whats this about the rear box being Restrictive??? and how do you sort it have you put an aftermarket one on ?

I shall take a picture shortly. I chopped it off completely lol

Soon to have a side exit

Chopped in front of the rear wheel

EH thats a bit extreme for me TBH I was expecting you to say " oh yeah theres a flap of metal or something! " LOL

Well worth it though.

If you are lucky and your exhaust isn't rusted in place then you can remove it at the split so you can put it back on if you want. I couldn't mine was rusted to a mother ****er

AAAHHHH I get you know reduce the length of the pipes under the car!!!!! silly me i was thinking that will be seriously noisy if you just go chopping bits off hahaha

I haven't reduced I have removed the back box completely. No sound difference at all but pick up is fantastic

The newest mod. Yet to see if this does anything but seemed an easy job.
