Come on, who's had one, who's got one and on which cars?

I've had one - twice, one on my Vectra and the other for a short spell on my Astra Coupe.

The Vectra was a 4-1 manifold, no cat, no centre box, with the cherry bomb back box, i once got asked to leave my gf's house early in the evening or the following morning because every time i started the car i woke the niehbours kids up, who lived 4 doors down. Hand on heart you could hear me downshifting 1/2 a mile away!

The Astra Coupe was a 4-2-1 manifold, sports cat, race tube and Cherry bomb, not as loud as the Vectra, but sounded more manly for some reason.



i don't have a picture of the Vectra uploaded to photobucket :-(

I had many years ago a pair in a capri wow it was loud. I Do currently have one on the middle of my sti. Just using it as a resonator as it was too loud to pass noise tests with just the h & s back box. I quite impressed with it, Has made the car almost stock sound when on cruise but get plenty of sound when giving it some.
