Re: Exhaust tailpipe
I've found some will pass, some will fail though its generally a fail as its part of the exhaust and has a hole/holes in it. You could bandage it for the MOT though.

Re: Exhaust tailpipe
In theory yes, but we all know what those fastenings are like....
If MOT is imminent, bandage it and sort afterwards. This was actually why I adapted mine to accept a Kawasaki silencer. I have changed enough of those tail pipes on T25s and T2s to last a lifetime. Never again....
I figure if a tailpipe is a tenner or whatever and gawd knows what for new silencer, it was cheaper to fit a big s/h stainless one from a bike (£25 ish) and no more crappy tailpipes. Most of the T25s will accept them with only minor modifications needed really.

Mine passed the MOT and then fell off a few weeks later
Pretty cheap to do providing you can get the bolts off
