He means if you've got a standard 2.5" flange where the backbox meets the centre section, there might be a prodrive backbox floating around that you could borrow. Would bring the noise down to well under 102db

With regards to where to get it tested, isn't db testing part of the mot?? so any mot tester could check (I could be wrong though)
Afaik, although noise is a consideration for MOT, they don't test for it. Its just whether the tester deems it to be 'excessively' loud i think?

Noise testing is a bit random though. With my current setup, i've been tested at Goodwood at 101db, 97db and 95db. At Brands i've been tested twice and the readings were different again (both times in the 90's). Looking at the exhaust in the photo, i doubt it would pass though....
