Cherry bomb mufflers
« on: January 13, 2008 - 02:44:10 PM »
I think'n of replacing my Sumitt Racing "Turbo" mufflers with the Cherry bomb "Pro" series muffles. I'm look'n for something more aggressive sounding...what'd you'll think? :dunno:

Are they the glass pack style? I am thinking of putting some glass packs behind the Blown Stroker. I have had everything from glass packs to Flowmaster to Magnaflow.
If I put a cased style muffler on there it will be Magnaflow as Flowmaster has too much drone. I like the glass packs because you can hear the mechanical sound of the engine more and not just a rumble. I like the pops and gurgles of the straight through design.

OK, I just took a look. The look pretty good. I would be interested in trying them out. They aren't the glasspacks but the design looks good.

I'm not familiar with the Cherry bombs in question but make sure they do NOT have the inward inverted louvers in the main body as these will actually decrease exhaust flow and make it very restrictive.  Look for the perforated center section that has holes drilled through the center pipe, not louvered inward.

I like the glasspack sound too, kinda old school sounding.  Some glasspacks have too little restriction and may decrease bottom end torque.   :2cents:

Ooopsie....posted before I looked at the linky above.. :misbehaving: ..sorry, I have no idea about that style, looks sort of like Flowmaster with the sound deflector technology....

I have sold a few Cherry Bomb Pros,they have been just released. The look and sound just like a Flow Master. They are the preferred muffler to me.

That's bad to hear for me. I hate that Flowmaster drone inside the cabin. The drone that rattles your teeth. Don't get me wrong, I love loud @$$ exhaust but I want it to be loud for the bystanders and not rattle MY ears so much. Glass packs just seem to shoot all that noise right out the tail pipes. I have a little torque I can sacrifice.

I meant that if you want that Flow Master sound,you don't have to pay that Flow Master price. :money: Glass packs don't have that "Big Muscle Sound" to me. A drone is not good,but I can't say the Pro's have a drone.
