My other half's Z is due the dreaded MOT and I'm a little concerned about the noise levels from the exhaust. She's fitted the straight through, single exit system from my old TT as she loved the aggressive exhaust note (somehow I managed to turn her into a petrol head a couple of years back...Christ knows how I managed it! lol ;)). However, now it's on an NA it's truly loud...I mean Armageddon-esque L-O-U-D loud. TBH it sounds fantastic (if occasionally annoying when cruising at speed on the motorway...) but I'm not sure whether it will pass an MOT as it is. I believe our cars are exempt from the emissions test (well the early ones anyway...I think?) so does this also apply to decibel levels, if indeed that is part of the test now? If so, what would people suggest as the easiest way to get it through? Are there any off-the-shelf mufflers that would fit or will I need to get a custom jobbie made up...she really doesn't want to change the exhaust! Any advice would be appreciated!

Fantastic my Zed passed first time with 2 advisories = both back shocks apparently misting fluid lol, or maybe i caught them with underseal.

 

Never said a word about the exhaust and believe me its bloody loud,

so loud infact it caused perminent hearing loss in my right ear and sets off car alarms as a hobby.

Cheers lahsx will take a look at Apex products :) Unfortunately I can't justify buying another variable control exhaust bypass as I'm already getting one for my own V8 and money is ridiculously tight as it is :( A simple bolt in baffle definately seems to be the way forward for the NA.

 

Cheers for the standard exhaust option Nick, I'll keep it in mind just in case thinghs go t1ts up! :D ;)

 

No probs buddy, it's free to a good home so no worries if you need it or not
