Just a quick one, what's the situation on this? is it down to the testers discretion?
My 1978 MGB V8 is running straight pipes (no silencers at all) - so it's ok on tickover but it screams a bit with some rev's....

Yep, entirely tester's discretion. You're likely to find that if it's loud and sounds cool (classic car with straight pipes dangling off a V8  ), then you'll be OK whereas a small 4 cylinder with the baffles knocked out may find trouble... |

Being a v8 it shouldn't be too bad compared to a 4 cylinder with no exhaust  |

My Imp is very loud but never had a problem with the MOT, I like to think because it's such a cool car. You should be fine.

My Cadillac hearse is running a straight through pipe (bar the cat) and that sails through, even though its a small 5L lump in it.  |
