Depends on year. Pre 2000ish nothing just do what you want really. Post 2000ish should have a cat if fitted from factory but many are decatted and passed MOTs fine (my two have no problems). 2007+ needs a DPF (and cat I think)

Side exits are fine too just can't be a sharp edge sticking out.

DPF only needed on approx 2012 > 2.2 Defenders as fitted by the factory. CAT should be present on all engines. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

As long as it exits after the DPF and Cat it should be ok. I'm sure there are regulations which limit how far it protrudes from the body. Check with the guy who normally does your MOT Defender 90XS SW
