I am only asking this question as I can't find a direct answer, I have read eles where on the internet that the boys in blue (traffic coppers in particular) now carry decibel meters and can test you at the side for the road. As far as I was aware there is no set DB number to conform to only if it makes more noise than "standard". And also the only official test has to carried out in at least a half mile flat tarmacd area with no obsticals
on the way home back from japfest there was a civic at the side of the road with 3 coppers looking under and bonnet and two round the back of it and they looked like they were testing the exhaust.
There was mention that there is now a DB limit but I can't find it anywhere.
1) so if the aftermarket exhaust has a "e" stamped on it that makes it road legal ? But if it's louder than standard it's illegal ?
2) is there anything that the police can do that would actually stand ? Even if all mods Are declared and mot passed ??
many thanks guys
