I've heard from the horses mouth that MOT test centres are being spot-checked for this now, and their operating license is at risk for passing cars that are unreasonably louder than stock. Everyone argues that "they can't prove it", but lets face it, it's obvious if a car is louder than what you might expect to be "stock".

 

Whether it is "unreasonably" louder is currently discretionary, but you can bet your arse that defined limits WILL be set in the near future - whether that is an arbitrary limit or a database of proper measurements for each vehicle type, or even just a volume measurement during testing which VOSA might double-check during a spot-check for exhausts being swapped for testing purposes...
