Lol yea looks like a giant smoked Hungarian cheese smile

Decat shouldn't be too loud (especially linked) with a back box - decat and sports tails = bleeding ears. The SP system sounds fab IMO

the decats (already fitted) will have ends cut off and il slip the pipe inside these with the rolled part already there from decat. then just weld the pipe to cherrybombs.

not seen a mains operated one only rechargable cordlesslaugh

yeah il have car in workshop next week so will take a before and after vid of how these sound once fitted. ordered 2i/4' id silencers so pipes from existing should in theory slot inside these.

gotta say ive never heard a cerb as loud as this one, bloody things deafening especially on motorway

lumps of cheese now installed;)
what a difference, cars now sounding very nice, not quiet but just a real nice deep tone to it and you can hear yourself think on a runout

if anyone else is thinking of getting these then highly recommended and cheap as chips too

Any photo's of them with the flanges welded on?

Looks good and I'm interested too

yep il put a vi up a little later this week but it doesnt really tell you a lot at idle but youll get the gist of it.

im still running the nw engine in at the moment so dont want to open her up past 4k, its only done 400 miles lol
but have to say that throttle response low down has improved, much more responsive and generally easier to drive in traffic.

when you look at the decat pipes they are a fairly small bore but with the 4'' cherry bombs fitted the id of the pipe has opened so maybe this is allowing better breahing without compromising back pressure.
ive also noticed that temps in the cockpit have decreased significantly due to the thicker wall of the cherry bombs compared to the thin allie decats.

il report back on power once ive run her in and got some fully synthetic oil in her

no sorry didnt take any but basically i cut the flange off one end of the decat then slipped it inside the new silencer then welded it on with the clamp plate.
the other end i could have done the ame with but decided to sleeve it instead due to the fact that i ordered 18'' overall lengh bombs but they sent me 18'' body (2ft overall) and i couldnt be assed sending them back, otherwise you could have made them exactly the same size as decats

here you go fella
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHERRY-BOMB-TM-EXHAUST-1...

give them a bell as they will make them to whatever size you wish.
ideally you want 18'' overall lengh, then you can weld flanges to both ends and it then becomes a bolt on/off item.

whole lot will be less than a oner delivered (and no im nothing to do with company thats flogging them lol)


forgot to put the linksilly
