Sports Exhausts to be phased out at MOT time

Some information to bear in mind............

MOT
SPECIAL NOTICE


Section 7.1
Change to criteria for assessing exhaust noise in that the level of noise should be checked at all engine speeds required for the exhaust emissions check. Also, that the vehicle should be failed if the noise emitted is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition

Issue Date December 2008

A useful FYI and more reason to refit the stock muffler for the test if you think you are at risk. No reason you can't refit the Sport Muffler after though
