The under tray and the high level pipework was on the bike when i got it but the pillion pegs were not. I got some longer bolts and put nuts between the bracket and the pegs to space it and make it fit. So long as you dont fit too bigger spacers its not under much more stress.

If its a road legal can with a removable baffle and it still has the baffle in then yes it is legal. If its a race can and marked "not for road use" then its not and never was. I believe you can get a reconnection sleve to re fit the original exhaust back for mot time but TBH most back street testers will turn a blind eye if its not offensively loud. I'm getting a DB killer for my Viper for mot time which should dull it down enough for a pass.

A stubbied road legal one is not legal anymore (technically!) but noone really gives a f##k and the police haven't got the kit to check at the side of the road. If it's got baffle in, will be fine.

Whatever the manufacturer stuffed down the pipe to get it through the test.

so if its just the middle of the can with the perforations in it, im guessing that isnt a baffle. and to get it through the test you really need a screw in one?
