Looks like I was right in me other post. The nice weather is bringing em all out. FFS roll on winter..
As to the exhaust WTF else do ya expect from a student. "I've had a brainwave what do yu think" & yu'd better think it's good or I'll sulk & spit me dummy. Then sue ya for Causing me mental anguish by disagreeing with me"

Just my two cents
I take it you've all seen motorcycles parked at the side of the road, with the exhausts completely bare? Anyone could brush their leg up against it, and they're not illegal. The general etiquette in the UK is that people just don't touch other peoples vehicles, full-stop, so I wouldn't have thought that it wasn't a concern, personally, unlike the lack of a silencer!
It doesn't look to have been done very well though. If you were to have a proper truck style one, there'd be a heat-shield, and the hole at the top wouldn't be there just asking for the rain to start pouring in, it'd be bent at a right angle, or have a top hat. Enjoy trying to get your engine started the next time it's out in heavy rain overnight!!

OHHH MY GOD!! It is an exhaust.
Thatt'll be fun when it fill up with rain.:doh:Ill work my way through the other issues i have.....From an internal COMBUSTION injun?Surely not?
not illegal if you go to the right mot people. lol
Whos gonna pass that?Take it theres not silencer or anything either?That would seriously restrict vision too-also a MOT fail:doh:
ok im guessing you think its illegal on the roads as its too loud? it actually states that there is no actual determining noise level. just if it is excessively loud. and i know there are a load of people out there with straight through exhausts. i go to a uni that has the highest rate of police hatred against it, and not one of my mates has been pulled over for a straight through. (yet
Its ilegal cos its loud, its ilegal cos its before the ****ING CAB!!!!!!WHERE YOU SIT N BREATHE N STUFF!!!Unless you've got a lot of scuba kit, theres a good chance you will DIE OF ASPHYXIATION whilst driving it!!!!
Thats common sense 101, my uni needed that as an entry grade....
No they arent "pedestrian friendly" however sharp edges are another MOT fail:doh:
And who sed wasting tax payers money???CHEEKY kunt!!Its all loans these days so ya get it back with interest!!Another ****ing stealth tax!!!!

all i can say is...oh dear
if you want something like that do it properly...heat shield, and flip top (for rain) then if you will survive the exhaust fumes you'll be ok, no point bragging about dodgy MOT stations on an open forum, you'll have plod knocking on your door very rapidly, asking where this alleged MOT station is, then they will have VOSA all over them like flies on ****, doubt they will be too happy about that
I thought it looked quite good until i realised it wasn't a snorkel

Wait for me, I've not had a pop yet I have two young kids. They always do what they're not supposed to. Did you not learn as a kid that fire burns, because you touched it, not because you were told so! And on the subject of bikes, I konw several people who have burnt themselves on bike exhausts, including me! ( I actually also know three people who have burnt themseves quite badly on household radiators, but thats another story).
Exposed unprotected exhaust pipe within easy reach of little hands? Sorry dude. ****ing stupid.
As a Landyzone fellow poster dude - Please fix it before someone small hurts themselves. Kiss Kiss.

what about a cobra or a westfield or a caterham etc that have manifolds and exhausts at the side in much more of an easy reach.
not sure why it would be illegal though apart from the noise.
it will fill up with rain without a cover lol best get a heat shield on it though.

POAH; for goodness sake. Please don't bring such good examples of external pipes into this? (Don't forget the AC Cobra)
Think about the little people!

Where would you draw the line then??
How about sticking up through the middle of the bonnet? Or perhaps protruding from the front grill?
