Want to put one on my SS1 so I'm looking for a good universal cherry bomb - anyone know of a good place that sells them cheap? Found some good ones on ebay cost about 50 quid including postage Id prefer one a bit cheaper - any ideas? ;D

That sounds great! Does your system have 2 silencers, or just the cherry bomb? |

Or just tear off everything bar the manifold. Saves weight, ya see?

So you literally have a pipe from the manifolds with the cherry bomb at the end? On my Cortina I had a standard system then just cut the back box off and replaced it with some ally pipe and that sounded great but got a bit annoying after a while. Is yours loud all the time? Lovge the noise! My car is made of fibreglass and has a cloth roof so it might be a little intrusive! Would love that raspy burble though!

Most cars sound curse word with no back box, its immediatley obvious thats whats been done to em by the farty droning noise they make, leave the back box on and replace the centre one witha cherry bomb or straight pipe, open exhausts work on big V8's but sound absolute curse word on lil 4 pots, they just end up sounding like a banger racer.

Mine only had the one anyways so just swapped the bomb in. And yes...she was warmed up as I had been out listening to it for about 1/2hr before don't think it sounds like a banger tho! It doesn't sound too whiney like a modern 4pot tho which may be down to the siamesed 2&3 ports on the exhaust manifold giving it an offbeat note |

loud 4 pots never sound quite satisfying to me, thats why I've not done anything on the Cortina 'zorst. Oddly I kinda like the sound of aircooled beetles and the like and Scoobies (controvercial point there I'll bet) Maybe its because I now associate loud 4 pots with chavved up Saxos and the like.

you need high revs and lots of burbly induction roar from 4 chokes to make a 4 pot sound good if its loud imo, has to be crisp sounding as well so i never bother faffing about with exhausts unless the engine has been worked on, not to mention some engines (the 24v cossie is a prime example) need some back pressure or they lose power.

Well mine will be on a nice gutsy 4-choke setup soon so will sound even better |

I'm going to have to make an exhaust for my E21 16v conversion and I've been pondering whether the exhaust will be bearable. I was planning to use only a pipe centre section and then some kind of back box. I don't mind the noise too much, it's just if it really would be too unbearable... Also it has no interior or sound deadening... I remember RR'07 when I took the E21 with engine and exhaust bog standard, you wouldn't even notice it was running compared to all the other cars  |

It is quite loud when accelerating but lays off when your speed steadies. I've put a fair bit of deadening in mine and its still a touch intrusive so it may be a curse word in yours

I had quite a few people come up to me and ask what exhaust the 205 was running at RR07, 'cause it sounds so good'.
Erm standard I think!
