Hi Guys,
I am after some advice please. My car has just gone through her mot (she passed thank god) However one of the advisory notes is that my exhaust is noisy. I replaced the exhaust six months ago with a scorpion exhaust and i will confess that it is louder but i had no idea that it could be on an mot for noise. Is there anything i can do to fix the noise problem with out buying a new exhaust.

Thanks in advance

If it is just an advise i wouldnt worry about it mate. It is just the mot tester covering his back. The Mot is quite vague about exhaust noise. It would have to be stupidly loud for me to fail it. :thumbsup

it's rare but the police will do you for it if its over a certin level.

VOSA will do you for it as well if they stop you.

there is new legislation coming out that apparently any after market exhaust, if too loud, can be deemed a fail. down to tester interpretation.

The ruling is roughly :hihi

A silencer in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a silencer in average condition.
