Race exhaust passed MOT
 
Hi guys, just had my bike's MOT and while I was sitting there in the waiting room my heart sank when I realised I'd forgotten to swap my race can over for my standard one...

Then to my surprise I was told the bike passed. :shock:

It's a Micron exhaust (Oval shaped, though I don't know if it's THE Oval) but doesn't have 'Not for Road Use' stamped on it either...

Is it possible that it's actually more legal than not?

:?

I'm confudled.

It's possible you have a realistic (or sympathetic) MOT centre who realise that if they fail you for a loud exhaust, you may just take it to the one round the corner who will pass it. Hence they turn a "deaf ear" to the rorty sound. :twisted:

... But they failed my car a month or so before... Cost me in total £300 to get it passed... :lol:

I know them and they know me... They wouldn't pass it if it breached any rules.

For MOT if it's not marked it'll pass. If it is marked "not for road use" it'll fail.
With BS stamp it'll pass and this is what the rozzers are looking for. An unmarked can they'll probably accuse you of altering it in some way. :roll:

My sv passed, all i did was put black tape over the "not for road use" bit.
