I've read quite a few times that replacement exhausts should be no louder than a stock exhaust in which case the mass majority should fail an MOT but it's down to the discretion of the tester.
As i said earlier my work mate's Harley takes the piss as far as noise levels go, as do most Harley's, but they still seem to be riding the streets legally with admiration for their noise so yer man from SPE isn't wrong when he says it's a very grey area.
I think the trick is to be as polite as possible to Mr Plod and maybe carry fresh doughnuts as a peace gesture. :b
