Hi my fellow zoners/e30 lovers. I am thinking of buying a cherry bomb back box for my current e30 and was just wondering how easy they are to install if I were to do it myself. The link of the cherry bomb I'm getting is below. Any advice/help/tips would be most appreciated. Or if any of you know of any good fitting fitting guides on the net.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

you'll have to weld it on and make some hangers for it, it will probably make your car offensively loud as well; i had one on a mk2 golf about 10 years ago and it was just stupid.
if i were you i'd look for an alternative.

years ago neighbour two doors down gave me a bollocking for taking mine off my mk1 golf. said she was late for work because me leaving to go to my work was her alarm clock and was her time to get up.

Had two side by side on two e30s one 325 and one 320. Sounded really good but quite loud. Currently I run no middle box (x pipe) and scorpion back box which is too quiet for my liking

Had it on a 316 with no cat and I loved it. On or off throttle sounds great! :D
