The FZS600 runs slightly rich as standard so you will not damage anything by running a straight through pipe, although you will not feel the true benefit unless you fit a freer flowing filter (K&N, BMC, etc etc ).
As for VOSA, their enforcement officers do not carry decimeters any more as a true reading cannot be achieved at the roadside so in order for them to slap a prohibition notice on your bike they would have to confiscate it and take it to one of their testing stations. They will not go to all this trouble for just a slightly noisy pipe.
If you have an excessively noisy pipe and make an arse of your self all thats likely to happen is that you get hassled and pulled by local plod and they will then looks for other reasons to give you a ticket (small/damaged plate, dark visor, vehicle defects etc etc)
