Easiest thing to do is put a motor bike can on the back, that's what I done on mine.
Or a cherry bomb, sounds real nice to!!!

Can see if theres a powerflow near you. Custom stainless exhausts. Life time guarantee. Thats where i'll be goin.

Had one on my volvo 480 and had noticeable improvement. Better acceleration and 5mph on the top end. They can be pricey but are fantastic think its http://www.powerflow.com there is also a great company in bradford i think (depends where you are) http://www.wunoff.co.uk

or as above for a quick fairly cheap option cherry bombs or the aftermarket bike / boy racer cans can be fitted

Thanks for the quick responce. :lol:
I think i would like to go for the bike can option because i have used power flow before and felt that there service was not good (well not good enough to justify the price). I had to go back three times because they fitted it wrong. I feel that was more to do with fitter rather than powereflow as a whole.

Any tips/precautions on how i would go about fitting a universal exhaust or bike can??

I'm gonna presume it wasn't powerflow darlington. They did an A++++++ job for me.

Can't think of any tips for fitting. they are fairly straight forward. Just chop the exhaust at the back couple of u-bolts or some have a fancy pipe clip to join them. You will probably need some basic brackets to hang it. Again you can get universal brackets from any motor factor. Job done.

Are you replacing the rest of the exhaust pipe on it?

Yeh just cut exhaust off and weld on new, bike cans keep tight out the way more clearance that way aswell. U can get a connector from a local motor factor.
