Road Legal Exhaust?
Discussion
Hi all,
after a spot of advice.
so, the new ST is home (by new I mean new to me)
It's pretty loud, nothing too bad but just loud compared to my normal diesel vehicles.
It was listed as an aftermarket exhaust, however, I wondered if there are aftermarket exhausts that are road legal? I don't want to be swapping the damned thing come MOT time. I just want an exhaust that'll do the job it's needed to, I've no interest in noise.

yeah that's the route i'll probably go.
I want to take the car to about 300bhp, but i've no interest in having other people know that's what it is. It's a shame the Ram air kit is noisy too, as i'm not sure that'll stay.....will see how I go, I like quiet power haha.....a sleeper ST if possible.

Maybe this is some semantics that I don’t understand, but my Golf has a Milltek exhaust and the TVR has an ACT Performance exhaust, and they’re both road legal and pass MoT’s no problem.
I think you have to go a ruddy long way to have it fail on noise - emmissions certainly i.e. remove the cat and all that jazz. semantics possibly - but i'm probably not being very clear either.
Noise - mostly personal preference, I want a nice sound not a rediculous one (there's alot of boy racers round here with 5" exhausts on a 1.2 clio and it sounds st.
Emmissions - I want to retain the cat, want it MOT legal.
So yes, bit unclear probably
