exhaust loudness on a car

Taken into consideration what the inspection manual states and its down to YOU what you consider is not acceptable.

When I listen to loud exhausts , if my ears start to bleed, and I think oh my god that's loud then I fail. If I'm in any doubt then advisory it is

Sorry digger06, this one is a problem. Living on the rat run between Aylesbury and High Wycombe as I do we are constantly harassed by the 'Revvin Kevins' racing past with their big bores and cherry bombs, and I promise myself I will fail every last one of them. Unfortunately when you test them there are very few which actually are 'substantially' louder. If you think it fits the bill, fail it but be ready to stand firm because chances are your boss is going to side with the customer when he whines, and he will whine.

Exceptable

Stealth did it . I controlled myself. I was good. It was stealth.

Failed my first one yesterday, no silencer and a bit of pipe weld in to make it stright through, was loud.

And adding "While you're at it sunshine, stick a cat back on it" just enhances the pleasure
