I have a local shop bending pipe and using Cherry Bombs. Anybody have any advice?

 

don't go bigger than 2.5 inch on the pipes and run 3.5 x 18 inch tips

 

When i first read the post, i was a little confused. Are they working on your truck, or just bending pipe and using Cherry Bombs in general?

just seemed a little funny is all.. maybe it's just in my head.

 

I would use 2.5 everywhere... No bigger. I have a cherry bomb 3in./ 2x2.5 out and it sounds great. Post up some vids when its all done!

 

Ok so its a single in, dual out ( SI/DO ) not cherrybomb(s) as in true duals.

Keep it 3" from the Y pipe to the muffler and 2.5" tailpipes, you'll be good. I would imagine its the Cherrybomb Extreme muffler?

 

sounds like he is using the glass packs.

 

My vortex kit is the 3"in/2.5"out SIDO but it only came with 3x18" tips, what is the pro/con of the smaller tip? Just curious?

 

Unless someone has been to that shop, nobody could tell you if they are any good or not.

Cherry Bomb is a good product. Glasspacks have been around for years without any problems.

 

I know the shop is good. I am going true duels. I was just wondering if people have had any luck with the cherry bomb mufflers. ( not glass packs ). Sorry for the confusion.
I thought you all could read my mind. But it was empty.

 

Nothing at all, just a cheaper price.

 

Don't put a glass pack on a truck! All the lil pukes with lil ricers use those cheap things! I was choosing between Cherry Bomb or Magnaflow, well I got the CB Vortex 14" SI/SO 2.5" with a 4"/14" stainless tip. And I'm very pleased with the sound. Not overly loud, but a nice rumble at start up and when you hit the throttle, which was what I wanted! When the owner of the shop pulled it around front, I had a huge smile on....

 

people have been putting glasspacks on trucks for decades. the reason ricers sound like crap is because they are 4 cylinders.

 

my buddy has one on his '94 and it actually doesnt sound too bad

 

It really all depends on the engine, pipes, and tuning of the car if it will sound good or not.

i have the cherry bomb extreme and its 3 in/ dual 2.5 out and sounds good but loud. the muffler is small as hell. (not glasspacks) mine has lasted well and stood up to abuse but there nothing like maggies or something of that quality.
