Dardandec Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Just keep riding it as you are until some sort of official* gives you a warning in writing about the noise. *Not just some random scrubber who lives 3 streets away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Aftermarket exhaust or not, if its passed an MOT, then its legal and youre not doing anything wrong. Depends if it was MOTed with that exhaust on. I know people who put the stock one on for MOT then go back to the aftermarket loud one afterwards. Same with CATs on cars.

geared Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Noise is often down to the discretion of the tester as well, usually because the wording in the MOT manual is quite woolly. Some testers might not care, some might just be old lads that can't hear very well anymore :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just on this either. I'm trying to remember what it is that I've known people go through an MOT fine with and then been ticketed by the Police...but it's slipped my mind for now. I seem to remember it may have been to do with number plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think you want a cheap pass, that is what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
