wardy 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Gentlemen Can you help with this question? Related to exhaust noise and UK mot requirements MY 2002 V8 – if the car is set up as follows – standard cats connected to centre exit tailpipes, will the car pass mot with regards to emissions and also will the exhaust volume be ok as there is no silencer in place Thanks Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramjet 887 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Can't help you there John. Someone will be along that has a V8 that will be able to answer. We don't get yearly inspections in OZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 8,422 4 Vehicles Report post Posted April 23, 2012 There's no requirement to test noise on an MOT so you'll pass. The 5-0 can discuss your cars adherence to the Construction & Use Regulations as the car is meant to be fitted with an exhaust as per the manufacturers specification but in reality you'll be fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkLarge 1 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Chris. Just to confirm what Bibs said in that it will be no problem whatsoever. I have just fitted centre exit pipes (no silencers) and 200 cell sports cats and it passed MOT a few days later. As a matter of interest the emmission readings were better than last years with the standard cats although I guess it depends on temperature amongst other variables.
