Okay.. Preparing for a kicking but.. Cherry Bomb.
Okay, From what I know. According to the opinions on here... Cherry bombs aren't received very well but I still need your help! 
So pick the lesser of two evils... Which of the two would sound better?
I'd prefer something that idles quite quietly but is more raspy at higher revs.. Loudness is important!
Help?

The second will make more of a crack 'pop' for scaring people, the 1st will be a typical backfire sound.

unless you run a middle silencer ts not going to be quiet on idle and when you hit the gas, you will cull the local aged population. The problem is too loud usually sounds shit.

So is it going to fit...?
I know it'll need a bit of hack 'n' slash but it'll fit without lots of poke.. Yeah?

the cherry bomb looks like its either a sleeved fitment or you simply weld it to the centrepipe. You will need to add hangers to get it to sit in the right position.

I know there're seemingly better suppliers out there but I can't really argue with this price..
I know you get what you pay for but for that amount of money it's not going to be a mistake I'll regret for that long if it goes tits up.
Ahh... Where can I find the hangers and how much're they gonna end up being? :s

if you run it with a silencer they do sound abit like a cheap pugsport but no silencers straight through yo may become freindly with the local plod....

Nahh but I'll just try and keep a litte less pedal-happy. xD
But yeah.. It's ordered now and it's on it's way. So I'll get a few videos and a few pics up. If anyone's interested!
