i thought there's also a super car exemption, as the the p1 was too loud, but it was fast enough to be classed as a super car which has a higher limit

UKMOT.com MOT Manual 6.3 Exhaust System
donen't say noise level at all.
so can not see a problem. and if they do bring this in, as with the emisions
will be for new cars.
its like plates, all they say is they have to be a certain space between the lettering. and the letter size
i just cut the plate down. looks smaller. but perfect spacing
i'll find out next month

Very strange, mine passed last week on a full 3' Milltek sport with sports cat system complete with decat up-pipe, failed the first emissions test mind but passed when warmed up.

The MOT tester should fail any car which makes more noise than he would expect from a standard car.
Reg 54 of the construction and use regs make it any offence to modify a car such that its exhaust makes more noise than when the car was manufactured*

*This include 'remanufactured' cars to a seperate EU type approval like the PPP cars.
