Does anyone know if you need to have a backbox on the exhaust for it too pass an M.O.T ??

I'd say yes:
"The exhaust system

Is secure, complete, without serious leaks and silences effectively."

It would be complete as i would weld a pipe back on. Just the noise part i was worried about?

In theory it should fail, in reality it depends on how fussy the tester is!!

The center section has a hole in it so it was blowing a bit. So i was going to cut that back about half an inch and weld a pipe all the way out. So wasn't sure if this was and M.O.T fail?

Think it depends on the tester and the noise......I had a car fail once cos the tester was convinced the baffles had gone in the backbox because of the noise, so failed it..

If it on your Justy, then i can't see noise being the issue

You could just put your hand in your pocket and treat it to a nice s/s system

I've had a car pass the MoT without a back box - infact without any boxes, a straight through system, nice and loud! As said it depends on the tester.

I could but i'm only 16 nearly 17 and will need all the money i can get for the insurance Its the exact sound i wanted just from removing the backbox.
May just see if i can find a friendly tester

Yeah go for it mate, you got nothing to lose. If it fails then you'll have to re-think but until then.............

I passed an MOT with the exhaust finishing at the centre pipe! Was still waiting for the back box in the post.
