Beowulf end can not legal?

[Daywalker]

Hi all just thought i'd ask the question if my end can has no BSAU markings i take it i must have a race end can, i've not had my curvey k2 long and i've fitted a DB killer but i think it still sounds ##### loud.
What are the chances of any one wanting it if i decide to get rid of the can/ in polished chrome a few small marks would any one want it , dont know how old it is & the lettering has fell off what d'you all think cheers.

There's no legal requirement for an exhaust to have an EU or BSAU marking. As long as the end can doesn't have 'for race use only' you are definitely okay. You might need a more friendly MOT tester because of the sound, but in legal terms, you're legal, as you have it baffled. Don't worry about it, enjoy it. Chin

Is this not the age old argument that there are no markings but it may be above the legal noise limit, yet hoe do you tell without a dB meter

should be ok, although all my cans are bsau stamped.... if you get rid, might be interested... how much you looking???

better safe than sorry and give it to me as i I am more than happy to be caught with it on my bike!!!

you can get bands on ebay that have the BSAU markings and just need riveting.

I've just looked at the picture, and I don't think that's a Beowulf can as the outlet spout is curved. I think Beowulf spouts are angled, not curved. It looks like an unmarked Scorpion can. Check below the spout for evidence to see if FRUO has been polished out. I have an unmarked Scorpion just like the one you have. Chin

Last time I was at Beowulf, the guy there (Andy I think), was saying their cans are all baffled as standard, and Emarked. Only illegal with the baffle removed.

IMO their cans are a fair margin ahead of the rest of the "budget" competition out there.

hi all sorry i've not been on sooner thanks for all the input you've given think i'll stay with the can for now or untill the boy's in blue tell me otherwise, also the bike shop (Hunts) shoved it through its MOT with no probs, but would like to put a stubby can on some day, cheers.

Not true

The construction and use regulations require the stamps. That is a legal requirement.


VOSA rules for issuing an MOT certificate does not require stamps, but if the can is marked to say it is not for road use, race use only etc. Then it is is breach of the VOSA rules and should not pass a test.

There are no limits on the noise. Simply a subjective assessment that it is no noisier than a comparative model.

However, a well trained MOT tester will accept that a loud can is an essential safety feature.
