Cheery Bomb exhaust is it the way to go?

[TVR Beaver]

I have my std exhaust fitted at the moment with a 2/5th sleave.. it does sound nice but I think I want a bit more... I could open it up again and sleave a bit more, say 3/5ths or 3/4 sleave but not sure thats the way forward.
I want it to sound something like the ACT Sports sytem but I can't afford that amount of dosh at the moment.. so are Cherry Bombs the next best thing... or indeed is this whats in the ACT system??

Obviously I don't want any power loss as I know some systems can become restrictive and therefore lowering BHP....

Try opening up the centre box and replacing the wadding really tight by putting extra in it should give a nice deep sound unlike the tractor sound you get from sleaving

It's allowed. You'll be a lot happier!

Try Longlife exhaust, one based in Leeds. Great look and sound, hand built and reasonable price..

If you do a search on YouTube for ACT Griffith you can find an idle, and various drive byes of the ACT Cherry Bomb system.

Must of missed this one before... Yes, I guess you are right... Basicaly a Cherry Bomb in a perforated tube with tightly bound sound insulation around it.. as you say... doing the same to the existing tube should get the same results....
I think I may have a play this weekend

Chris 52 has the ACT system on his car so I know what its like... and it does indeed sound good

Nice noise and not too noisy on the motorway.

I have Clive F decat, ACT manifolds and ACT Cherry bomb on mine. I really like the combination it is not invasive on long journeys but it still sounds great when you boot it....
