Would this fit on a mk2 1.2spi's original pipework

[MattBrown]

Yes, but they don't go streight on, you need to make a mount etc!

Is a nova 50mm?

[vauxboi]

i thought they used a 50mm round clip thingy so i took it as it will fit, as for for the mount i will just cut my one off the original back box and weld it on the cheery bomb so it will fit into the bracket

[craig green]

Surely it makes more sense to buy a Nova specific tailpipe/backbox than a universal silencer?

Even a Peco BB4 is better than a Cherry Bomb.

custom chrome are the manufacturers of cherry bombs btw.

[Richie_B]

Pants. IMO.

[craig green]

Probably what you need for tuning a crappy old Mini & A series engine.

[vauxboi]

why would a nova specific back box be better than a cherry bomb exhaust they've been around for years within the performance area, its only a 1.2spi i was just thinking about them as an allternative to the more expensive brands such as sportex

[Morton]

if you cant afford a decent or ok second hand specific exhaust for your nova i wouldnt bother

[vauxboi]

so what brands will just go onto a mk2 1.2spi

[Asa-James]

right i have a cherry bomb on a carb'd 1.2. it was free and i was bored so i thought why the hell not. it did bog all for performance, is far too loud, but looking at the other end of the scale i dont use the car daily and once its warm all i do is keep backing off the throttle to hear it burp and fart. other than that, there are far better options out there

[jimbob-mcgrew]

chav imo

why do people put back boxes on 1.2's WTF

Same reason people put xe's into novas?

To be differant?

Or to "Customise" the vehicle?

[vauxboi]

soooooooo what are these better options lol

[let_nova]

i have a brand new one here lol

[vauxboi]

see people do like cherry bombs anythings better than the standard back box lol

[let_nova]

and its forsale lol

[novalovingned]

There good for a giggle nothing more. If you dont take your nova very seriously go for it :)

[scott.parker]

IMP there crap, i would spend your money on a 3" inward sportex box, much better.

lol lol lol I have to agree. They sound nice & smooth with a std pipe, though young drivers do have issues with the girth Vauxhall blessed them with, so dress it up with chrome & the illusion of more power through awful noise.

We have all been there, at 17 a BB4 was on the top of the list for a 1.1 fiesta! lol
