I am thinking of removing the bottom bung on my exhaust, is this legal? If it is illegal what will happen if i get caught?

Cheers

Hey,

My M4 is not legal in my province. After about being forwarded on five times with phone calls as no one knew my answer, someone responded! I wanted to know the dB limit in Saskatchewan. The officer said the limit is 84 dB on cars and 85 dB bikes, around there. A vaccuum is 90 dB... and an old ladies Saturn, is 83 dB... Most M4's are around 92 - 98 dB and can get up to 100 - 102 dB if your in high rpm.

If I don't ride like an ass, they won't stop me and I should be fine.

It is a bung, not a baffle. The can is a blue flame evo. It has a twin out let, when it is legal it has the baffle in the top outlet and a bung in the bottom.
All i want to do is take the bottom bung out. Is this still illegal as i am not removing a baffle???

Race cans aren't always louder.

The Gaffa Ninja has a race Micron = deep rumblye sound but not really that loud.

Black, my SV has a completely road legal GForce can = sounds like I've got a WWII Spitfire following me around!

The bung and the baffle make it pass noise regs, removing either or both will cause it to exceed them, therefore it wont be legal. If you get stopped the worst that will happen is a rectification order, simply refit the bung or baffle and get it tested and stamped. sorted.

thanks for that Muttley, a fine or rectification order is no problem, but points on my licence is a VERY BIG deal (can only get 6 in first 2 years)

So aslong as i can't get any points the bung will be staying out

Cheers

p.s I took the bung out a few hours ago and let the bike tick over..WoW, i cant wait to give it some stick to hear what it realy sounds like!!!

Mine was "Not for road use" originally, but quiet enough to MOT under the new rules, despite having no packing in. But at the moment I'm shortening it and putting a wider inner pipe into it, so that may change

I suspect I'll be in the market for a db killer soon...
