Question:
I'm looking at buying a P1 from a main dealer but it has a rather loud exhaust. I am told it is a 'straight-thru'.
Will this pass an MOT?

Yes, as long as they haven't changed the downpipe. There are 2 cats on the clasic style scoob, one of which is on the center section, the other on the down pipe. Check with them, as if the downpipe has been changed the car should be re-mapped.

Thanks P1Jon - so presumably a straight thru exhaust would eliminate this centre resonator, thus increasing power?

If the mid section was replaced I dont know if it would add much by way of power but I would guess it would make it louder.Think all the resonator does if muffle the noise.Chek the downpipe though in case that has been replaced by a decatted one.If so , most people would keep the original for MOT's , sale with the car so you may be able to get hold of that with the car.
Good luck,sure you will be very pleased with it!!

hmm I thought you said straight through, that would indicate downpipe to??
Also even if just the downpipe remains could still be dodgy as I have heard P1 emissions are higher than most scoobs as standard and only just scrapped in via a backdoor by Suburu UK claiming supercar status.
