   i think the new laws just been like told, ther was a thread on it last night a guy who works in a MOT test center, but who would take ther car for a MOT with a decat / really loud exhaust lol, some people get along fine with a loud exaust within reason, you will get pulled if its stupid loud, just atracting attention to yourself for no reason, you will be made to retake your mot or somthing if pulled over with a stupid loud zorst and have to prove its been sorted withint 7 days or somthing

   emissions tests are a joke tbh, when i was working at a mot test center if it didnt pass they used to swing the pipe round in air wilst running test for it to pass i gues a palce that does that makes you think if your cars in safe hands tho tbh...

   imo i doubt they any good, other than noise, and this aftermarket exhausts, i doubt it will go forward with it, if its silly noise its understanderble....

    cheery bomb= shit imo. they are mostly universal fit iirc and are just mega loud. if its just a back box your after i would recommend a magnex any day imo, nice tone, looks subtle and a good fit. if they are not too your taste try a scorpion, super sprint, janspeed make some as well, btb etc etc... there are loads available in a direct fitment sor saxos and they will be a loy better than a cherry bomb i gurantee you

    well my point was mate that there are loads of direct fitment back boxes that would be a million times better than a cherry bomb! but yea your right john, btbs are expensive!
