I wouldve thought theyre all legal as long as they have a silencer and a cat for the emissions.

Ye thats right its like 91 or back, something close to that. But knowing martin the exhaust was probably drowning out low flying planes

were not saying it is loud but this is just a disscussion on whats legal or not on exhausts

When i got multiple fines with my astra.. i argued and argued.. in the end it came down to being that it is illegal to fit an aftermarket exhaust... thats what i was told.

Is this a common example of Scottish policing, by any chance...?

You could have a drain pipe for an exhaust, a bit of scaffolding, as long as it meets the noise restrictions and has a cat its cool.

am scottish and never been done with anything and i always had loud exhausts even when i had a volvo 850

My old mini had no silencers, large twin exhaust, was mega loud and that still passed MOTs and the only legal problem I had was with a copper claiming it was a 'pedestrian hazard' as the pipe protruded 1 inch from the bumper lol.

Its not common up here, the police in elgin are cool, well traffic anyway, they always speak to you and have a laugh.

Aye, Elgin's a canny place - spent a few weekends at the ice rink there...

Im surprised martin, I know the police up here are taking a hard line, but thats just ridiculous. How on earth is that going to sort public relations with us car lovers? Its just stupid

well guys marty thinks were all ganging up on him when am just simply trying to prove a point but says weve all to p*ss off for ganging up on him

Phil. · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2007, 21:02:05 PM »
