Title: cherrybomb exhaust?
Post by: william127 on February 07, 2010, 20:00:31
i need a new back box section on my td5 110 and am wondering wether to get a straight pipe, a cherrybomb or a normal one? what have other people got?

although mines a 90, i have fitted a straight through centre section and maintained my rear box, sounds sweet, not noisey but purposfull, if it were mine i would do a similar set up on a 110? could go stainless right through whilst your at it   :drool:

Stainless is more brittle than mild steel so not quite as good for off roaders, won't rust though.

Erm....cherry bomb???
WHY??????

Just keep in standard. It's a TD5!
Making it sound loud just annoys people and makes no sense.
Unless your sole reason to be on this planet is to annoy people!
a bit like those nuggets with the music on loud,
I mean who the fork is interested in what crap we listen to in our cars??

To cure your illness I'd sugest large doses of Land Rover V8.
No cherry bomb required and you'd never need to put your radio on either!

Be happy.........

i agree cherry bomb could get annoying think of traveling say 80 miles on a motorway with that banging out noise, my old 200tdi was bad enough had to sound proof the engine bay  :doh:, straight thro is good more hp a little more noise but obviously has to be replaced with normal pipe for mot's.

Straight through it, ive done it on the 90, not a lot of extra cabin noise bust sounds amazing on the outside.

WHy would you need to change it for the mot, diesels are not subject to the decibel test for the mot.
I have never had a problem with mine lol

its a subjective test, its supposed to be close to on par with the noise and tone emitted from a similar model vehicle with a standard system.

the decibel level is build regs I think and nothing to do with MOT, such infrigment are dealt with police or other agency which carry out road side inspection, dunno if diesel is exempt or not.
