Noisy cannons

[Trike357]

Just picked up a pair of cannons off of ebay for my Phoenix,they are a baffle free zone,though,anyone had any mot bother with loud pipes?

Going through town they tend to set off the car alarms.:thumbsu:

Ditto.

When I start mine, all the dogs in the street start barking.
And mine have baffles in.....:D

Never had a problem at MOT time though, neither with the VTR with open Microns....

Cool..I'll play it by ear ,then...:)

No specific regulation exists for trike exhaust MOT. Its down to tester discretion whether it sounds louder than anything else in its class.

Since most trikes are in a class of their own, you should be fine!

[Trike357]

Thanks for that,I'll just have to see how much my ears bleed,that'll tell me if I need baffles...

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure the rules are the same as they were a while ago, that a trike must be fitted with the original exhaust when the vehicle was built i.e. whatever you put on it - I run straight through pipes and haven't had a problem in 15 years

Bike instructers got it spot on. Just made my friendly mot man show me ! lol :D
He said " I'm not deaf but who is to say what is standard on a one off trike". He would have been happy to pass my trike with the straight through Dunstall reps.
