Before you type ******** you might want to check around !! See HERE for advice on the subject by MAG. Now, whatever you think of them as an organisation they tend to pretty good with facts !

Is this not the case?
I had a pair of Micron race cans that were stamped not for road use on the end but had baffles in them - even with baffles they were still above the legal limit but the baffles brought them within most track noise limits - or so I was told !!

They didnt like the guys on their bikes so they wanted to do 'em.
And by having illegal bits of kit it only makes things easier for them.

I have been told by police officers several times that the only time it's legal to undertake if you're riding in the inside lane & the traffic is moving more quickly than that in the outside lane (within the speed limit of course) - any other manoeuvre can be construed as Dangerous Driving

Quite probably but people still make it easier for them. Now, I've been guilty of all of these at one time or another - my only point is that if you choose to break or fracture the law be prepared to take the consequences !
