exhaust baffle or butterfly valve

so they're just clamping down on noise levels..? you can get an exhaust baffle for that. easy fix. just until they leave you alone then whip it out and continue frightening all the neighborhood kittens.. :D

or.. you could get the remote butterfly valve that sits somewhere mid-way between one of the exhaust joiners and has a butterfly flap/valve that can be controlled from inside the cabin.. i remember someone mentioned it here. don't have the link anyway..

They have supposedly been clamping down on exhausts for the last few years, in my experience it all depends on the Garda who stops you.

Just fit a middle silencer to the exhaust and be done with it, it will pass any noise test then and it wont be causing a restriction like the exhaust valve's or baffles do. Let the boy's with the Honda's make all the noise

We get a £30 fine if it's too loud and after three seperate fails they can impound your car. I think the test it at 3000 rpm because thats the loudest the exhaust is stationery. Might be wrong but i'm sure thats what he told me.
