#1: went for a cruise... Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Wed Dec 18, 2013 8:27 pm ---- So, as you do when you're 18 with a car, I went for a cruise, decided tonights journey would take me down the local petrol station, to put 1p's worth of the finest unleaded into my tank. Turned the car on, BRUMMMM, oh, the joys of a glasspack exhaust. Pulled off my drive, done the usual, three miles per hour due to the speed bumps infesting my local roads. Got down a side road, and opened it up to a glorious 31mph (I'm rebellious, you see). Then, it hit me, fwaah, this is sounding really meaty tonight! I joked with my brother, "hah, exhausts probably fell off!" so when I got to the petrol station, I thought, "why not check", and well, it was gone...
This is why you don't use exhaust mounts ladies and gentleman... Always get it welded.. Doh
On the bright side, my car looks pretty... Minus the gaping hole where there should be an exhaust, of course.
Can anyone recommend any exhaust brands for a 1.1? I want a rumble, I want something loud, but I don't want to wake up my neighbours or anything silly like that? I may buy another cherrybomb otherwise. Just feel like trying something different, ahha

For now just fit a standard exhaust. Nothing more laughable than hearing a loud car set off from traffic lights only to see it being left standing by Grandma on her mobility scooter.
Where abouts has your exhaust come off from? I thought my backbox had given up a few weeks ago, only to find when I crawled all the way under that the clamp between the centre pipe and back box was that badly corroded, it wasn't holding them together. £5 and a bit of head scratching from the dealers soon sorted it out.

Just the backbox:( The cherrybomb had a custom bracket welded (by yours truly) to fit onto the standard mid section of the exhaust system, then was clamped down accordingly... Apparently not clamped well enough!

I've got my standard back on for now, I'm currently in talks with torqueflow as the guys have done work for friends and family before. I'm not going for a loud and farty exhaust again, it's more of a looks thing as, lets face it, the standard box looks silly, haha:) We're going for a slight rumble, but upon take off, and movement, pretty much silent, if floored, it has a bit of noise to it, but nothing super duper. Sweet:)

Totally agree. I love the sound my 1.1 makes as it reaches the redline. I'd like to get a ram air intake like the ones made for the GTI but don't think it'll fit. Also a little too expensive for a student

You make it sound like it's a massive business deal...

I do enjoy the sound of the 1.1 with an air pod on it, well, up to 3,500 revs then it sounds poo again;)

Sorry to upset you Captain Obvious but the first photo was stated photoshopped for "opinions" on the tinted windows. The other one which is my coverphoto on facebook, also stated as a photoshop, which is the background, no idea what you're lining up in paint. The other one on the top right is standard. Your just looking for an argument that you'll lose... Feel free to pop round and view my car at any time. Drop me a call on 07565 426189 and we'll arrange a viewing.
