So i brought my self a carbon fiber micron race can for my600f2 its rather loud. It came with No stamps on it.

So out came the metal stamps and now its got BSAU 197a T3/1990 neatly stamped on it!

I figured this would properly fool most coppers haha all my mates think it looks really convincing! Mr. Green

Why stamp anything at all.

My can has no markings anywhere. It's legal (probably)

Got my bike through an MOT by covering the 'for race use only' on my laser stubby (on a cbr600f2 as well!) with some insulation tape... guy said it was fine.

it's ridiculously loud, and it has no stamps at all... still got through Mr. Green

Mine passed its MOT a month or so ago. Which is good enough for me.

And it's horrendously loud.

(on the official loudness testing scale, horrendously is louder than ridiculously)

My mate has a Race can on his SV650s.

When he took it for its MOT We hammered my Scorpion baffle in it and sealed it up with bathroom sealant.

Was clear that it had just been put in there to get through the test but made it.

It all depends on what mood the tester is in, and how much of an arsehole the copper who pulls you is.

FWIW for MOT they changed the rules a bit back. Now it is just up to the examiner and his opinion if exhaust is too loud.

I have a Micron Can that says "Not Road Legal" or something very similar in the paperwork. But it doesn't say anything like that on the can itself. Someone also put a "BSAU" stamped-plate on it and it passed the MOT without a problem.
