How To - Sleeve / Cherry Bomb Exhaust
Discussion
Hi All,
Just wondered if anybody had instructions or pics of how to do this, especially of how the rear silencer looks when split and cherrybomb fitted.
I'm quite far from Offords so thinking of getting them to deliver and a local mechanic to sort it out.
Also - have you seen the price difference between ACT and Offords cherrybombs !!!!!

Why the heck do you want Cherry bombs - you want it louder?
There is just one silence box in the middle to do - do you just want large pipes at the back?
You can remove the centr box and just have the cherry bombs at the back but you may as well through the rest of the crap original system away. This is waht I have (well sort of but for the Chev) in SS (just 1800 quid
).

This works on removable cans such as Tuscans etc.
Measure the INSIDE diameter of the perforated pipe in your end can, buy stainless non perforated pipe of the same diameter BUT ON THE OUTSIDE and of about 1mm thick. Take your can off, Cut the new pipe so the length is slightly longer than the length of the perforations in the can, get a mallet and and lump of wood, rest your can endways on the lump of wood, hit the new pipe into the perforated pipe until its all the way in and all the perforated holes are covered. Your old exhaust clamps may be shagged, so buy new exhaust clamps from a TVR dealer at £5 each as any old exhaust clamps dont do the job as good, and put them back on. Voila!
I'm sure T66Ora will be along to confirm this is about right?

erm - not sure?
Spoke to Offords who said that the cherrybomb actually goes inside the silencer. They said it replaces the perforated pipe and that they also remove the packing....sound right?
It better.... Mine's in at Offords tomorrow morning for this exact mod. £140 done and dusted.Spoke to Offords who said that the cherrybomb actually goes inside the silencer. They said it replaces the perforated pipe and that they also remove the packing....sound right?

These people talk garbage, a cherry bomb is not a piece of pipe in place of the perforated part - Muppets.Spoke to Offords who said that the cherrybomb actually goes inside the silencer. They said it replaces the perforated pipe and that they also remove the packing....sound right?
You can easily do something like mine - drop the system, cut the centre section out replace with straight through (but have lugs off of this section to bolt to the 4 or 6 mounting points on the chassis and go to any good exhaust place and they will cut the right amount of the end of the system (chim or griff) and replace with a cherry Bomb (mine are cool slash cut jobs).
Braders - when you are round Esher way drop me a line. (Not for a week or so though).

Ok Jellison ps are you going to Rockingham or any other events with the car ?
Not really - events for me mean racing. TVR (the Chim) is just for bombing about in local(do the odd Surrey pub meet or ACE Rods meet). I love Rockingham (but the championship I race with has not been there for years! Not really one for looking at cars just sitting still - prefer going for a blast.jellison said:

They are doing exactly what I am saying cutting out the perforated tubes in the silence and replacing with unperforated tube.
I can't see them cutting out the centre box - with it mounting to the chassis plate and inserting two real cherry boms in here and attaching them ridgidly to the chassis on the same lugs. Cherry Bombs are normall at the very end of a system.
This is normally what you call a Cherry Bomb - http://www.supremeperformance.com/DisplayTab.aspx?... - but you can have them in fancy SS with cool slash cuts.
Normal procedure on Griffs / chims is as I discribed - it will not be anything else for 140 - 250 quid.

I had them done with the cats in place on my last two and damn loud.
With the main dustbin cat out it would be a bit much for frequent use (as my mate Topsparks showed with his 370bhp 5.5 no cat and straight throughs - NASCAR.
Elise or Griff - Tough one. I like the big fat lump up front easier to push it at the limit more of the time and yes the throbber helps
