Seen this in the news

Don’t get it really, as if the government were serious. Then they would make us testers/stations cough up for dB meters/amend the MOT to then start failing these types of cars with loud exhausts

Yes yes I know technically you can

But I’ve never known anyone or heard ( no pun ) of anyone failing a loud exhaust.

Like usual they leave it wide open with just enough rope to hang yourselves

And that, karlbenz1 is what is known as a subjective judgement, without which, we'd be fcuked.

Personally, anything with a V8, or, Class 2 straight-thro' ought to 'pass'. But don't quote me!

Which is probably why I'm as deaf as a post.

I heard that! Pardon!

I am here to make your day because I have, using the wording in the manual, failed more than one exhaust for being too loud. Obviously when it comes to sporty models, it would be difficult as I don't know that I could estimate what the 'standard' exhaust sounds like, but when some revvin Kevin fits a cherry bomb or some kind of resonator to his beloved corsa, and my teeth are vibrating (including the ones that aren't plastic), it is not going to pass. I don't care how he complains to my boss who then calls me a miserable killjoy.

I've failed a fair few . Was asked yesterday if I could weld in a back box 'delete' . A pipe to replace the silencer . Laughed in his face and said no .

Back box delete indeed . If he had asked me to cut his rear silencer off and weld a straight pipe in I might have done it for him . It was the phrasing of the question that made me refuse to do it .

Then if it was too noisy I would fail it next time I test it .
