Hi all,

I had my stainless steel cat back exhaust fitted a couple of months ago, and have yet to have an MOT since it's been fitted, it's only just occurred to me that it could fail due to the volume being higher than standard for an N/A.

Here's the link with a video showing when it was fitted, how has everyone else fared with their exhausts through MOT's?

Clicky

Cheers

Austin

Video doesn't work for me but unless it's ridiculously loud (like having no exhaust at all or a large hole in the downpipe or something) it'll be OK, but you might get an advisory on the MOT for "noisy exhaust" as I sometimes get depending on the mood of the tester.

It sounds spot on and as long as the cat passes the emissions you'll have no issues with how loud it is, which isn't loud if I'm honest thumb

Thanks all, It's my first bit of coop paranoia since I've been back on here (overthinking things!)
