Hi guys, i have a VFR400 nc24, with a rather loud race can fitted.

The can is not marked anywhere to suggest off road use or being road legal.

is it possible to buy baffles for the can to make it quiet enough for an mot? if so where?

without knowing my individual can, how do i know if a 15 DB drop is enough to pass the mot? sorry for sounding Biff like but i dont fancy spending money on something if it doesnt work the way i want it to.

I've just bought a nc30 with a scorpion race can which says "Not for road use ", would that baffle make it legal for road use ?
Seems a cheaper option then buying a road legal can .
Or should i grind the warning off and wear ear plugs and fit a BS stamp ?

£17 is cheaper than you will find an alternative can for however.

if you have a can marked not for road use, then no matter how quiet it is you cant use it on the road!

However would that DB killer make it road legal? as mine has no such markings.

Cans must carry a EU mark, like E1 with lots of other markings which indicate the bike or exhaust manufacturer has complied with the regualtions laid out, you'll see them on bikes since the 80s, if the can has no markings then its illegal to use on road.

I thought new legislation means that it should be legal unless specifically marked "Not For Road Use", "Competition Use Only", etc.

If you buy a baffle thing you could polish out the illegal stamping if you had one I suppose.

Stick a brillo pad down the exhaust before the MOT.

as i said guys i have no markings on it saying whether its legal or not, and im sure the new rules said it didnt have to be e marked due to many exhausts being made outside europe?

[superstacker]

i did find this old post which may solve my problems. So long as the info is still accurate.
