Any MOT station should accept a can with no markings at all as long as it is not excessively loud. They are duty bound to fail any can with "not for road use" or similar, but an exhaust no longer has to be E or BS marked.

Stick a db killer in the end if it's loud and take it as is, it should pass.

Why don't you save yourself the trouble and just go to a proper MOT station?

Well-just made it back in time to fetch the twins from school..... SHE is a beauty, i am well pleased with my choice. It has turned out to be a She because, she is sexy, has a cute rear end, makes me happyand i am proud to be seen out with her,but, if you push her she'll growl and be off on one what a lady.....
covered 60 miles, had a bit of fun on the twisties and managed two gears on the back wheel, all at speeds that don't risk a ban and still able to give the throttle some without hitting warp speed
