Road Legal Exhaust?
« on: 20 January 2022, 08:20:45 pm »
A mate of mine has a Black Widow Exhausts silencer which, according to their web site, is road legal as long as the baffle is fitted. Looking at my mates there is no BS AU 153... stamped on it. I thought all legal silencers had to have this ???  Don't want to buy one only to find it won't pass an MOT.Any thoughts?Rob

I have a Quill race can on mine, and bought a bolt on muffler to fit for Mot's, it's never failed. It doesn't have any markings on it.
I think as long as it doesn't have a stamp saying "Not For Road Use" then it should be fine, although it obviously depends on the individual tester and how strict they want to be.
