MOT Fail - Exhaust System?

As nitros says As long as it passed an emissions test I would not have a problem with it either

it does sound like the baffles, there should be no problem with emissions, the most you should get would be an advise that its slightly noisey, but it doesn't sound too noisey to me.

Hey all, reviving a semi old thread. But after another inspection I noticed that the Flexi pipe is where the noise is come from as it is blowing from the joint where Flexi meets solid pipe. Unfortunately there is no time for me to try fix it for a new pipe. It feels pretty secure, not hanging of in anyway but definitely blowing air in that area? Would this fail emissions. For a temp fix would slapping.some.exhaust paste all over it be an idea?

I've attached a picture indicating where it leaks from, then attached the same picture so you can see it without the red indicator.

If it was blowing slightly on the flexi joint and passed an emissions test I'd pass and advise it

Almost certainly will fail on lambda. You can try to paste it up but that area is (obviously) designed to move, paste sets rock hard. Could try RTV (silicone) but you’re sailing close to the wind.

The council TEST station where you go for an mot will give you a honest opinion and are NOT motivated by work in generating fails I know from your Previous post s you have had bad experiences of this and now go to a say Neutral test lane who doesn't have a ulterior motives let us know how you get on 😁😁

Your fuel cap and exhaust system passed with advisory s as noted by various poster's your center stop light only got a mention because it was not working ( only part of the test IF it is ) You got a Result and a fair one at that 😁😁

You and me can get parts cheap and fit them free of charge use ing OUR own tools 🔧 and  use the premises WE work at  ( I can I run the place and have keys for the garage ) Everson  not  he would be better replacing a full system on his sisters car for next year's MOT

Yeahh I agree whilst doing the Flexi maybe a tad cheaper, I would have to take it to a garage as don't know how to weld. But replacing the whole front section doesn't seem to bad and is the plan for next year, as since my sis lives away we don't have luxury of... "Let's see how we get on".🤣🤣🤣. But I agree MOT results are completely fair and always been happy with the council test centre, I put finding out about them on the same.level of finding this forum, my secret weapon.
