Cherry bomb exhaust

Post by The Bird Man » Sat Jul 27, 2013 9:17 am

Hi everyone, I need a new back box on my exhaust system but am toyed with the idea of having a cherry bomb opposed to the bog standard one :) Has anyone got a videos / sound tests for me to have a look at before I take a punt and buy one as I hear they sound pretty dam good ! :) Thanks, Eddie ;)

yep, people say they sounds great but I've been told a 4 branch manifold and straight through exhaust with a cherry bomb to finish it off sounds amazing, as people have said " it likes to pop and crackle on the over run" I like the sound of that hehe..

That sounds mint !!! I hope mine sounds half as good as that Scottie :D How do you go about fitting one as I have never done anything like this before ? Also is there such as thing as a "Bolt size chart" ? I'm still in the process of building my SJ up and there are quite a few bolts I need but haven't got the old ones for reference.

The new exhaust looks awesome Jordi :smokin: you need a flapper for the top of it :lol:

It depends how far you go, you can just get one to fit the existing exhaust so it will just be a case of cutting the exhaust and clamping/welding the cheery bomb onto it and making a mount.

I built my exhaust from scratch from the down pipe back.

Yeah i'm still not sure about the top of the pipe. May cut it off flat and put a flappy bit on instead.

I just wouldn't want the exhaust filling up with rain :lol: I like the slant on it, surely you can get/make a flapper to work with the slant?
