u guys are lucky if u dont have restrictions. Here in Australia the regulations for my 'C' to pass noise tests are 90dB @ 4500rpm with the meter 50-80cm away and at a 45deg angle from the tail pipe.

surely if this exhaust is too loud then somethin should have said in the mag u got it out or wherever u got it that it was for off road use only. If they are selling it with no warning then i would presume that it is within legal rights to use it.

If you have no silencing what do you expect? It is too loud and is annoying a lot of people. Have at least ONE silencer fitted, pleeeeeeeese!

Still, They cant sell a product that 'not suitable for the purpose for which its intended' so if its illegal to use on the road and its obviously a road car then....

i think the police think it's an undeclared exhaust system, if the system was shop fitted it should have a stamp of uk approval, this with an insurance doc saying they know about it, should have the police taking it easy.
just my thoughts..
