Posted March 3, 201410 yr evening guys im after some info and pointers on fitting an aftermarket exhaust(currently looking at a termignoni)thais particular brand comes in 3 decibels the higher the decibel the cheaper the exhaust it seems..ranging from 80db to 102db. my finances dictates getting the cheaper louder one so what are the implications of a 102 db exhaust,will it be stupidly loud getting me unwanted blue light attention? is 102db road legal or will I need to fit the standard one when ever its due for mot? also taking out the db killer..good or bad idea? thanks guys )
March 3, 201410 yr There's no actual BD rating for bikes in the UK Joe, it only seems that the tester will think it's to loud and fail it, you might fall foul of the boys in blue if they have a BD meter with them or if it says "not for road use" on the can other than that you can pretty well fit what you like but the neighbours are going to burn you at the stake if you keep them or their rug rats awake.
March 3, 201410 yr Author haha cheers..what about insurance implications,will I need to inform my insurance company?
March 3, 201410 yr Yes I should think so as it is an aftermarket item and might effect the value when it comes time to pay out.
