They used to spend a good 10 - 15 mins looking at it

Aye its fine, Mines worse and the coppers didnt mind when i got pulled.

I belive MOT rules are that if it comes out through the bumper it must come out a bit, or if it dont it must go down or somthing like that.

I just remember a mate of mine had problems with his 323.

So long as it's within the max dimensions of the car it should be fine, that example above may look a long way out, but the top of the bumper is covering it.

Tis fine mate, when I stuck my Sportex on my Nova the MOT dude had a good look at the exhaust as it was a tad longer than yours but mine was a straight exit. He then said 'thats ok, as long as it doesnt go past the longest part of the bumper'
