Cherry Bomb?? Exhaust setup need help!!
is anyone using cherry bomb mufflers??
im getting a custom 2 1/2 true duals and i want something different from magnaflow, flowmaster and all that, im currently have a borla catback...
with the TD im installing also a JetHot Lt headers..
this are the cherry bomb that im considering:
extreme muffler :
one 2 1/2 inlet & one 2 1/2 outlet
and the Glasspack
-my car is stock for the moment, i only have the ram air, box lid and the catback wich im changing for the true duals + the hooker headers...
in the future is comming:
3.73 (next month)
Ls6 intake
ported Tb (next month)
ported Maf(this month)
stall (maybe 3000) (not soon)
cam 226/230 (looking for a DD cam) (january maybe)
and a PCM tune (next month)
btw im going over the axels with the TD so should i do 3" from the collectors to the X and the 2.5"? or all in 2.5" ???
thanks!!

I have glasspacks on my S10 blazer. They don't sound really good just loud....but for $20 on a beater you can't go wrong. Go with flowmaster or sweet thunders from what I can tell from LS1sounds.com and you would not be disappointed.

In contrast, a modern bullet muffler like a Dynomax or Magnaflow is a smooth straight shot through, with no louvers to restrict flow. The inner tube is perforated to somewhat reduce the volume, though not by much. Here's a pic of the interior of the Magnaflow bullet in my exhaust right now:

i know magnaflow sound great, but to many of my friends has it, so i looking for something alittle bit different...
about the glasspack, haven't heard any good comment, so lets forget about that option...
now, surfing the net, i found this info:
4"X9" Oval 6" Body, 12" Overall 2 1/2" Center/Center , Extreme Series Muffler
The Extreme muffler is designed for the enthusiast who wants to exploit the potential sound they can get out of their car. It was intentionally designed with a smaller wing, a shorter body and no internal baffles. This combination maximizes both sound and air flow. The Extreme muffler is a perfect fit for vehicles that need to get to the next level of sound and performance.
4"x9 3/4" Oval 13" Body, 19" Overall 2 1/2" Center/Center, Pro Series Muffler
The Pro Series muffler is a two-baffle, flow-wing design that creates maximum flow while maintaining the back pressure vital to an engine's performance. The flow-wing works much like an airplane wing, creating a high-pressure/ low-pressure system inside the muffler. It is designed to pull the air around the flow-wing while reducing resonance. The body of the muffler is made of 16 gauge aluminized steel, while the end caps are made of 14 gauge aluminized steel to ensure lasting quality. The Pro series is also offered in 409 stainless steel.
so i guess for sound and performance the pro-series will be better that the extreme...
now on the other hand my car is stock for the moment, i only have the ram air, box lid and the catback wich im changing for the true duals + the hooker headers...

We have a cherry bomb glass pack and stinger rear pipe on our VW Baja Bug down in Mexico and it sounds loud as all hell.
Plus, when you let off at anything over 1/3 gas (like for a shift) the thing just goes "BAM!" out the back and scares the **** out of anyone around you.
Only new car I've ever seen with one was a blue STI. I didn't really like it, 'cause every single time he shifted (I was driving next to him through a bunch of stop signs) it would make the same loud bang. Kinda made it sound like the car was not feeling too well or something.
I dunno, it would definitely be different......

Sweet thunders Are not all that bad. I just put a set on mine, they sound really nice at idle and cruising speed, but when get it on it, it really sounds badass, I really like it when it shifts gears at high rpm, has a little rasp and back pressure.

XR1s are nothing like the borla catback muffler. ur comparing a race muffler to a conventional style. Cherry Bomb was just revived so i doubt many have experience and many ppl don't know about them at all

I'll get flamed for this but what the hell, I love the sound of glasspacks as long as they are the long body ones with at least 2.5" exhaust and on a powerful car. They got a bad wrap because they sound terrible on a 150hp 4x4 that is worn out and takes forever to make it thru a gear at WOT and that is just about all they are on anymore.
