Vaguely remember a new law along the lines of plod can fine you if you exhaust *seems* to be louder than standard, without even needing to db test it 
Sure someone will provide more info soon.
Suits me fine as my exhaust is standard...of course the Termi's on my Ducati should be fine

Keep it in perspective - they said seems louder than standard.
You'd get away with a scoobysport backbox in the real world (unless you were being a d!ck and plod needed to do you). a full decat is most obviously non standard.
Better switch the engine off goin past plod if you have HKS/Blitz/BPMs

I could be wrong on this, but is not the same law that applies to motorbikes finally being applied to cars then?
IIRC, exhausts have to be stamped with something or other to show something or other... This is one of the justifications why the prodrive backbox is more expensive, as it has this stamp thingy.
Sorry to be vague - hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to post here.
Cheers,
Nick.

For bikes the exhaust silencer has to be BS stamped - MOT failure otherwise. I assume there are exclusions for older bikes as I doubt you can buy a BS-stamped silencer for a Rudge or Manx Norton !
Doing a DIY-BS-stamp on your silencer at home is a definite no-no and is seen, IIRC, as perverting the course of justice or such like.

There's nothing wrong with DIY BS stamping on race pipes
Seriously though you've probably got to be a bit of **** to get done for this. Never been stopped on the bike with race pipe- just select 6th on the way past plod...
