Still, if you're good mates with your MOT tester, you won't have a problem.

And in english this means..........
Legal noise limit for an SVA test is 101dB
Legal noise limit for pretty much any other car is 89dB, though I am not sure if this is on the date of registry or at any time when the car is on the road.
Only bike exhausts need a kite mark.
Silencers - general
65. - (1) Subject to paragraph (3) a vehicle propelled by an internal combustion engine shall be fitted with an exhaust system including a silencer and the exhaust gases from the engine shall not escape into the atmosphere without first passing through the silencer.
(2) Exhaust systems and silencers shall be maintained in good and efficient working order and shall not after the date of manufacture be altered so as to increase the noise made by the escape of exhaust gases.
There is no MOT noise requirement.
You are highly unlikely to be tested on the roadside for your exhaust noise, as the police do not carry the equipment and the test has to be done under strict conditions.
If your exhaust is very noisy, you are most likely to be just given a prohibition notice (fix it or be fined), and in extreme circumstances you may be prosecuted for public nuisance / disturbing the peace etc.
