what you think about cherrybomb brand mufflers ? on a scale 1-10 what would you rate it 10 being the best. I was told it was one of the best brands out there along with flowmaster is this true ?

 

Hmmm. you know what i'm actually kind of in the same boat as you... i have on my car(98 V6) right nowa cherry bomb glass pack 31'... and from what everyone said before i bought it, they said it would sound really loud and reallly really awful... i can't complain about it, it's not loud or awful sounding, its more of a rumble at idle and a little higher pitch wile driving, rather than a deep growl that you would get out of a flowmaster 40 or 80 series... cherry bombs are just really cheap in price thats why i bought it... $28 bucks for the muffler, and i just clamped it on with a tip because i wasn't sure about it due to all of my friends bad mouthing it... for 35 bucks after it was all said and done it was a great choice... however i am going to say 6 or 7 on the scale... only because i was broke the week i pulled my car out of storage so i got the cheaper muffler... if you have a hundred to throw at a muffler go with a flowmaster... if not go with the cherry bomb like i said... im happy with it... btw my cat is not gutted nor do i have performance headers.. thats why it's not loud really loud ... hope it helps

 

Cherry Bombs are a glass pack. It's going to be loud and you're going to blow out the packing within a couple of months and it's going to turn into a straight pipe. I can't attest to whether they sound good or not, but you are going to get loud if that's what you're after.

 

obnoxiously loud also

 

They are more of an old school low budget/I don't care kinda thing. I have 3" purple hornies for the straight pipe thing....not a good plan.

 

i give cherrie bombs a 8 there diffrent and have a unique sound and not every freaking car in town has them.

 

They aren't all glass packs, I think they started a new line of regular mufflers. I had a glass pack from them on my jeep, sounded awesome with the 360 v8. V6, I dunno. I wouldn't put one on my sixer.

 

many glasspacks will have the fiberglass wound around the outside of the internal chamber, the whole mess then inside the casing. so it should be a straight through design to begin with. they blow out the packing?

 

lol, yeah they do. My jeep was actually quiet for a while. Then I spent $1000 in gas and drove it from the northwest of Oregon to Reno and back. It got loud after the long uphill runs.

 

sounds like a waste of money to me [:-]
