neo 6 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Seems to be a bit of a grey area as there doesn't be a max noise limit for production cars. There is for motorbikes, and for kit cars and specials, but not for production cars. I believe it is an offence to modify the exhaust so that it is noisier than "standard". It is not an offence for the exhaust to be noisy if that is how the car was made. So, that could possibly mean if an after market exhaust has been fitted making the car louder than standard then it could indeed be an offence as I mentioned seems to be a bit vague.
