   Heeey
   I think its about time that I got back to modifying my little saxo.
   So I need everyones help on my exhaust... is a cherry bomb on a little 1.1 forte a good idea? and any idea how much it will cost to get it fitted?
   and is there anything else I need to buy for it? I literally just have the standard system on there at the moment, need to know what im letting myself in for!

   Most of them if not all sound shit and look shit and will brand you as the local chav. Have a look at other exhaust systems magnex/supersprint etc

   had one on my old 1.1 and it was ridiculous, too loud, ugly and a pain in the arse on motorway journeys. Your also likely to get a lot more attention from the 5-0 tbh.
   
   Save up and buy a good name like magnex or even a sportex saxo exhaust?
   
   Oh and mine cost 50 quid to get welded and fitted

   webbo, you paid £20 to have it fitted? its two bolts and a rubber...
   
   but, dont get a cherry bomb! the silencer i belive is very similar in design to that of the supersprint silencer, but never the less, dont buy one they are for old capris and V8 stuff

   A cherry bomb on a saxo just enhances peoples perception of here comes another little chav in a saxo.
