Quick help needed - exhaust too loud - MOT fail
Hi All,
Just some quick advice really ... MOT failed becasue the exhaust was too loud .. it has the afterburner vortex and a decat (WRX 03)
I was under the impression that the afterburner was UK legal as it was purchased in the UK ... is there anything i can do to get out of this and fire at the MOT'er ... gotta pick it up at 5
Thanks all

Erm not 100% but levels they stated in the past were 83DB @ 4000 rpm which the police use, but to fail the MOT Tester is able to fail the exhaust if the noise emitted is “clearly in excess" of what it should be..cant remember the exact wording.

I know of a guy in Belfast who got warned numerous times by the police to change his exhaust as it was too loud. He didn't do it so they served an Asbo on him lol!!

That would be useful!
Just booked it in somewhere else @ 9.30am... where the bloke sold me the exhaust
But said i wasnt happy at the garage! MOT bloke wasnt there but they were saying if it is too loud and they had an inspection they would be done but i was thinkin what if it isnt ..... as JAP iMPORT said they should have just put it as a advisory like his.
The MOT'er is meant to phoning tomorrow .. will be funny if it passes at the other garage before he calls lol.
Grrr

MOT'er sounds like he is too **** about certain things!
At least its going elsewhere!
