Hello guys just been looking to make my golf mk1 sound a little different than the standard, so thought the cheapest way to overcome the itch was to buy a universal back box, so seen cherry bomb or hornet, don't know if there's any other manufacturers out there with good feedback and also what sort of sound am I expected from these back boxes and which is better, all help appreciated

I've got a Hornet on my Astra, and it's LOUD, like rally car completely straight through loud.

I see I did have a peco big bore 4 on it and then replaced it with a standard one as it was completely rusted, but now I got a itch for a bit of sound,what one do you have a universal one, I seen a 3" and 4" ones and luckily the universal ones have a straight end where it attaches to the centre pipe which is same as the standard mk1, it currently has a 4-1 Ashley manifold so thought Il finish it off with a bit of sound, and on ebay its about £43 for the 4" and about £33 for the 3"

I've got a 3" on the Astra, fit up straight away with no welding, got another to fit to the Cougar but I'm leaving the other silencers in place, more just for looks on that.

I've got a Hornet kit on the K series Allegro and its very loud!
I've added an extra baffle from a bike can to take the edge off, might just be legal now.

My first mini estate had a homemade exhaust with 2 cherry bombs on it. The engine was a cammed balenced and flowed 1L with a single 1 3/4 SU overfueling massively. Sounded evil, popped and farted its way about, and, i was told, spat flames out of its exhaust. I don't know much about the hornets but you cant go far wrong with a cherry bomb.

In see mine has a Ashley manifold and the centre section is standard mk1 and then I have a back box, but will change the back box, would the hornet and cherry bomb have a similar tone

Yeah the hornet kit is 2 cheery bombs, a mid and rear one, 2.5" pipe all the way
I've added an extra motorbike style baffle in the rear can as it's too loud really
