M.o.t implications
12. Jan 2011 at 20:32

hi guys just read a post,regarding another member asking for advise on removing middle exhaust box for more v6 sound,which was promptly answered,no probs as long as he is friendly with Mr Mot man,? my mig has no middle boxes or rear box instead fitted by previous owner with straight twin pipes does this mean i haven't hope of passing my Mot. Cry

Cheers John

Jan 2011 at 20:44 It depends on your tester but the mot manual states the reason for rejection(a fail) "so that the noise emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition" lee (mot tester)

I thought it was just the rear box that had gone John.

After the rear box it splits in to two, then two boxes, side by side, then the cats before the engine.

Did the chap, two owners prior to you remove both the rear box AND the side by side boxes.

Put it this way, do you know if Tim put it through an MOT. He didn't touch the exhaust.
