My 2004 S4 with a sports exhaust (fitted when I bought the car in 2015) has failed its MOT on "Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar vehicle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition (8.1.1 (a) " which from a bit of googling I understand is one of the new criteria that came in last year.

(It's never had any note of noise on the MOT history before)

Any recommendations of where in/around Aberdeen could help provide a fix to pass the MOT please?

Can't you fit one of the temporary silencer things they have at track days for the MOT ?

Are there any actual dB readings provided comparing stock exhaust and yours?
