Cherry bomb backbox

[sammyhale22]

Anyone know much about Cherry bomb??
Thinking of replacing my heffalump of a mongoose backbox with a polished single exit cherrybomb. The cat back mongoose system was on my car before i bought it, personally ive always hated the backbox, it looks like the back of my car has a set of cannons from a ww2 battleship sticking out of it!!! :dead:

I had a cherrybomb on my 1983 Austin Metro. It had 995cc's and it sounded like McRae's Subaru.

Not my cuppa nowadays!

Are they free flowing systems??

 

[Daniel]

Air goes in one end and out the other, yes.

:S

If no-one else has a Cherry Bomb on a Clio then go for it. Nowt wrong with being different.

I fitted one to my 1988 Belmont back in '99. Sounded ace for a 1.3......

Hahaha Cherry Bomb! Aren't they meant for Nova's?

 

[Dave..]

I had a cherry bomb centre section on the clio when I bought it. Cherry Bomb are an american company who make very crude exhausts for nascar racing and the like, very loud, and boomy from my experience.

I prefer the magnex centre section I have now, to the cherry bomb, more free flowing imo

where do u actually buy these from

 

[Dave..]

where do u actually buy these from

those shops that you see on high streets, with three or 4 massive chrome back boxes hanging in the window, and NOS fuel supplements on the shelves

 

[davers]

boy in town has one on his clio

sounds rubbish, realy loud and no bangs or splutters
just basically a striaght pipe

 

[cat171]

No, just no.

 

[Dafthead]

You can make your own cherry bomb exhausts with the cardboard bit from the centre of bog rolls and some bacofoil

If you're gonna buy a Cherry Bomb exhaust, buy a V8 muscle car to go with it. The sound is trully fantastic.:evil:.

 

[coatesy]

i didnt mean i was going to buy one lol just never seen them in shops

 

[Henry]

they're widely available mailorder and some motorfactors might keep them. they're traditionally just a glass packed straight through bullet silencer, hence loudness.

Had one on my Mk1 1.2 nova back in the day I could be heard coming for miles, very ugly looking thing tho!

 

[fil_b]

[sammyhale22]

I`ve heard the yozza system, doesn`t sound that special.
