    Side exit exhaust?

    Basically, brought a cherry bomb backbox, had a look at how i wanted to fit it yesterday. To come out the rear it will sit behind the back bumper as its not long enough.

    BUT

    it will fit very well coming out of the left hand side and would look the tits. But what are the legal issues with this?

    Just check with a custom exhaust place before you build it.....they should be able to tell you what's legal for road use.

    God....they still make/people still buy cherry bombs

    They do sound mint, but a couple a lads round here have had there cars took off them for the cherry bomb. To be safe paint the cherry bomb black instead of red that sometimes take the eye off it being a cherry bomb
