Hi Jan

Chris Hawes has a system like you describe:

http://www.delorean.co.uk/pictures/dcp01754.jpg

It's loud, but IMO (and firmly only in my opinion) really (really) 
annoying. Because the silencer runs the length of the engine bay, the 
bass it puts out really encroaches into the cabin, whereas the Island 
twin turbo kit on #2727 has the small silencers at the back and although 
from the inside, sounds a lot different, is no where near as annoying 
(to me, anyway). I think replacing the stock back-box is the way to go 
if you want more noise :-)

BTW Cherry Bomb is a brand of "performance" silencers.

The new system is available to anyone in the world, and has been 
designed to have cats or no cats (and they're really easy to swap).

We are awaiting the results of the dyno testing to be conducted by Mark 
Bourne, and to have the makers officially offer them on their website.

They look fantastic - and all (incl the silencer) custom made in 304 
stainlesss. I think you'll like the prices too.
