Tuning Anyone got a Cherry Bomb?

[stu3202]

hi guys and gals, got a fiat panda 100hp and wanting to give my pat van a bit more rasp without blowing the bank.
On ebay Item Number :230984760089 you will find a Cherry Bomb Backbox, saying it will fit the Panda 100HP 2007 for £40!

just wondering what other people are running for a bit more rumble?

cheers

Pretty much everyone has a Ragazzon. Cherry bomb on a panda would be quite nice though.

Yeah iv'e done a little research on the ragazzon, watched some videos on you tube done some pricing up on sites and found them a fair price for what you get, your paying for the quality as well as the brand. where as i remember growing up and seeing cherry bombs in all high street car shops for £30-£50, surprised they're still about! if i get one ill be sure to find out how to upload pics and add a youtube link.

A mate has one on a 1999 Saxo and I swear it is the only good thing about his car. Sounds amazing. He has been pulled over for it a few times though, so not sure if they break some kind of noise limit, but still a good option.

I remember cherry bombs from back in the day! Retro FTW lol

A fair few folk use them as mid boxes. I think you might find you get too much attention.

Cherry arrived today and although supplier said it may require 'slight modifications/alterations to your existing exhaust system' I believe I'll have to make modifications to the cherry bomb they've sent me as if I were to fit it in The correct place the box ends up about an inch in the rear spring, going to test tmra and ill keep you all posted on the outcome..

Just an update, took the original backbox off today and measured up the cherry bomb, there is no way she'll fit unless she hangs out the bumper 3-4 inches, or I cut off right up to the baffles and weld an angle piece to avoid the rear spring..
Instead I've acquired a landrover exhaust tip and she's been welded on to a piece of pipe, looks and sounds great, pics and video clip to follow

That's a big tailpipe!

 

[stu3202]

It's from a TD5 Landrover, tip was free welder cost a pack of fags and a tenner, it fits the hole perfect, granted its a little big but sounds beautiful (in my opinion)

Holy crap that is massive!!!! what is the diameter looks about 100mm, but to be fair it does sound the nuts

Jesus its huge. You could stick your head in it. Sounds better than it looks IMO

You sir need a gold medal! It is 100mm internal diameter, just measured it.
Problem was tool my backbox off which kind of fell to bits on removal, the cherry bomb wouldn't fit even with modifying so we found the tip in the scrap pile cut it off and welded it to where the backbox broke off granted its huge but the sound I'd intoxicating

Hehe I only know as looked at a 100mm before I bought my 80mm one!!! Used a brown tape roll over the original tailpipe to check sizes and yours looked bang on the big size!! yeh the sound is amazing that's the only bit I am still yet to sort!
