I think you will be right unless it is louder than about 95db under load.

Mine was wayyyyyyyyyyy too loud with the rear muffler came off, so I put a 2 inch straight through (resonator). It added almost no gas flow restriction, but gave the car a nice deep burble.

not sure if it sound levels apply there

i believe that you are not allowed to remove parts from your exhaust

eg. if your astra came with a cat, resi and rear muffler
then
it must have a cat, resi and rear muffler

if you had all that and it is under 95 decibels then its legal
even if the mufflers are hollow
