cherry bomb ??

I'm showing my age here but the last time I heard the cherry bomb was the 'kin loud back box (it was more a short tube than box) available for the boys racers of the time in their Mk3 Escorts.
Didn't know they were still going TBH. They used to be the budget end and seems they still are at £30.

Chavtastic lol!) god thought theyd stopped making them. Last time i saw one was on my mk1 astra gte back in 1998.
wow lol ive never heard of a cherrybomb if im honest, he says its a really small box that enhances sound making it loud ? its new too me anyway 
They were generally regarded as the crap end of the exhaust market, made very cheap and very loud with zero if not negative performance effects.

You need to "have a word" with your mate. No self respecting car enthusiast would fit one of these.

I wouldn't even pay £35 for one they'd need to pay me way more than £35 to fit one to my car!!!! I remember them being popular amongst the Nova enthusiasts along with Ashley backboxes back in the day. No silencing in them at all really, you'd be better welding a length of schaffolding pipe to the back of the car ffs
