lansalot Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Any thoughts ? Am considering building my own exhaust from parts here. Anyone know what the silencers are like ? I have a cherry bomb at the moment and, not surprisingly, it makes quite the racket ! U447600 looks very cherry-bomb alike from the outside, but it's nice and small and would keep clearance down. Anyone got any recommendations on any of their silencers in terms of noise and quality etc ? It's for a 3.5 v8, it's a pretty stock (and tired) engine, but the cherry bomb is deafening at the best of times. A bit more quiet (but not tooooooo much ) would be nice. edit: oops, wrong URL !

Landowner Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hows about fitting two cherry bombs, one part way along the system and one at the end From here at bottom of list at 27 quid Then let me know how it sounds 'cause I want to do it Well that link didn't work it's www.autoimagination.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalot Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thinking of going a single side-exiting silencer route, but don't want it to appear too "boomy" in the cabin. Oh, what to do... Be annoyed if I spent the cash, fitted it up and it was worse ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I run a double s stainless "replacment silencer" from one of their systems. It is the standard in one side out the other, however it sounds just right, not too loud, not too quiet. Inside not that much different to standard unless kick-down then you can hear that you have a nice little sweet sound. Oh btw, I also run janspeed tubular manifolds which make the overall sound just a little more crisp and clear. I would recommend this HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalot Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 That sounds good - thanks for that. Not worth sticking the full headers on as the engine isn't that great, but I'll go for it as-is I think. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lansalot Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Cheers Dan - Tom gave me the same name. Might be worth a try before I splash out at Jetex. Though I'll be surprised if he can beat the £100 the parts I needed there were going to cost me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
