Any exhaust is legal, providing it has a CAT if nessersary, and doesnt exceed 88db (i think). It must be of good condition, i.e: no holes and secured properly, and not hang out of the back of the car a stupid distance. Any aftermarket exhaust should be notified to your insurance company, but other than that, nothing else.

not securely mounted
fouling bodywork

S/s zorsts have a tendency to sound more 'raspy' than m/s, but if it's got the right silencers on it, it shouldn't fail because it's too noisy.

Whether the CAT by-pass is legal will depend on what year your car is & whether it passes emission tests without it.
