Straight through/side exhaust

(1/3) > >>

Patty:
I am looking at changing my exhaust on my 90 as mine is pretty shot and have seen side exhausts and straight through ones and was hoping somebody may be able to help on where to get either one of these or advice on making my own?and what are the legalitys behind them?

anaxemurderer:
Its a pretty grey area

MOT regs only say that it can't be 'excessively noisy' but what that means is anyones guess. Think this is just for diesels, not sure about petrols but would like to know.

Some event regulations and some offroad sites say a maximum of 95-100db. Also state that exhaust tips can't protrude from the side of the body and should be pointing downwards.
