I didn't think there was a legal noise limit for cars? Only that it is illegal to modify your exhaust to made it louder - removing the baffles/sleeving etc, modifying not including having an exhaust fitted that is just loud - if that makes sense?

Edited: remember asking about this a while ago:

"Regulation 54 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986
provides for the fitting and use of an exhaust system , including a silencer , to all vehicles propelled by an internal combustion engine.

(2) Every exhaust system and silencer shall be maintained in good and efficient working order and shall not after the date of manufacture be altered so as to increase the noise made by the escape of exhaust gases.

And from the MOT:

http://www.ukmot.com/manual/6-3.htm

reason for rejection.
"b. a silencer in such a condition, or of such a type, that the noise
emitted from the vehicle is clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar vehicle with a silencer in average condition"

I think all the police can do is ask for your car to be assessed at an MOT station to ascertain if the car is lowered than a similar vehicle, which is very ambiguious
