Re: Cherry bomb backbox
might be a bit late now but basically an exhaust system as long as its not over what the copper thinks is loud you shouldnt get pulled an if you do i think theres a amount of decibals u gt to be under before u can be done inn anyway and as long as the emmisions are still ok its perfectly fine
