replacing stock muffler with cheapo, cherry bomb perhaps?

replacing stock muffler with cheapo, cherry bomb perhaps?

Post by reddragons »

was wondering of anyone knows what that would sound like. a bit deeper maybe? i'd consider it, but i'd have to cut my rear pipe by the muffler somewhere and just clamp the bomb on. i figure if it didn't work i'd just get a small piece of pipe to couple and clamp them back together.

so, is this a bad idea?

I ran the same setup with mine for a while. It wasn't bad. Not obnoxious, but it was somewhat loud. It was a real deep sound.

I've that setup now...

equal length headers + hollow cat + 24" glasspack generic cherry bomb.

Its a smooth sound, inexpensive and far from obnoxious, especially manageable if you've got a turbo boxer, the n/a boxers aren't too bad, but with a turbo, it eases up on the loudness.
