I have been reading about exhausts and all the arugument about has to be 'E' marked or not.
Now if this is the case i just bought a Motad Venom Plus Can, its loud but not deafening and has a baffle installed but it only has 2 markings which are both the same one at the top and one at the bottom, it says: E2 9095, now i think from what i found on Google this is an ECE Approval number. My question is am i correct and is this equivalent to an 'E' number? |

If I'm not mistaken, if the exhaust is louder than the standard manufacturers exhaust (regardless of what markings it may have) it is illegal under the 'construction and use' act. So, pretty much any aftermarket exhuast you fit is illegal, including the one on my bike. Whether the law would bother is a different question.

But is is at the testers discretion on the day if it does carry an 'E' mark? Also i think it refers to something about similarly engined machines, i've heard Ducati's louder as standard!

Its deffo down to individual discretion imo
My pipes are 'loud' to say the least, with no markings of any kind Mot'd and even been to a bikesafe day with no probs. Yeah the coppers that i was out with on the bikesafe commented they were pretty loud (they covered their ears lol) but it was all in good jest. Rekon it comes down to the individual at the end of the day. |

My bike fitted with Scorpion Street Extreme (baffled) failed last years MOT for
"Exhaust fitted is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar motor bicycle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition [7.1.2]" As said before, its down to the discretion of the MOT tester. ![]() |

My tester considers a loud can an essential safety feature. Now one subscriber to the org has a brother who is a car mot inspector. He did his own car and issued himself an advisory. Bet you cannot guess who (clue here) his org using sister is?

Would I be right in thinking that the testing centre that failed the bike for too loud wont be getting many bikers attending a second time. Until the examiner reassesses his own standards? People voting with the wallet may have the desired effect.
