ok had to put a catalytic converter on the kick today as i legally have to and the smell is really bad without.....so i went to canadian tire and and picked up a 2inch - 2.25 inchadapter and pipe then got a cherry bomb glasspacked muffler.
i welded it all up and unfortunately i need a new exhaust gasket since it leaks a little but i sure does sound mean....need to tip it down and out since it is just dumping right out the bomb at my axle area.
my wife was like " it sounds like a corvette!!"
my goal was too do a cheap replacement as the original 2inch catless straight back was like 200bucks and this cost me 54.00 and some burns...dont weld in shorts!!
i like it but it does drone a little insid the truck but that should be a little better when i put the tip on it.
-
do you think it will sound like a ricer when its all fixed?
-
nah not really it sound deeper not like an angry weed snipper and it does not bubble when i let the gas off either....smooth aswell. so when i fix the gasket it should be even nicer\
i will let my wife drive it so i can hear it from outside. maybe i will take a clip and post it so we can hear it
-
cause i really, really don't want my Zuk to sound like a friggin ricer.
-
ok went and got chinese for dinner and that was normal driving, played with the Rpm's a little and it is the best over 3000 or it drones inside the truck. fron outside i will find out tomorrow when my wife drives it. i don't think it is ricy since the engine is more like a VW 1.8 and they have a different sound then a honda engine. it is definitely deeper and really smooth. i know the ricer hatred thing i do hate them. i like the sound sofar.
but for 55 bucks i am not changing anyways.
-
Well I'm due for a New Muf on the 2dr Kick
Don't really like the Turbo Muf
We'll see how it sounds.
I'll wait for you sound posting ;) ;D
Don't want a Ricer sound but something more muscular.
-
hey i put a cherry bomb on my4 door and it doesn't sound like a ricer really i dunno how to explain it kinda sounds like the suzuki bikes i guess lol but even with a tail pipe on you still get the drone but i can live with it , i like it when ppl can hear me comin , oh and it sounds real cool at the higher rpms :)
-
Funny, I HAD a glasspack on for the last two years. Yes, I *did* sound like a ricer. Actually, maybe, more like a low flying Cessna. It was a 13$ muffler job before I went to Moab in 2005.
It finally wore on me - and just last week I put a regular old muffler on it. It's SO much quieter, and the reverberations no longer come through the cab. :)
-
do you have a recording of it yet but i believe you. the two things i hate are ricers :'( and jeeps :-[ just cause there are to many of em >:( and they always brag about how good they are. :P
-
I have a 2" cat-back exhaust on my Sidekick 4 door with a Cherry Bomb glasspack. I think it sounds fantastic like this! It's so much more deep and throaty and it doesn't sound like a ricer at all. It's loudest from about 2000-3000 rpm, after that it's just pure power.
-
Another option might be no muffler at all ...
My pipe is cutoff just behind the cat, and it actually isn't too loud
-
hey olija does that mean you have a catalytic converter and the o2 sensor behind it.
-
hey Bigred i got my wife to drive the truck ....you can hear the leak at the manifold so that sucks but i does not sound like a ricer...yeee hah!! it is definately a deep low sound. and it is louder than my last exhaust. i tried to take a video for you but the program will not recognize the file so a friend is coming over tonight with his video cam. will try to post it tomorrow.
-
sweet, bus_driver do you have a cat and the o2 sensor
and does anyone know what it would soundlike with a header and a cherry bomb setup
-
BigRedZuki, I am still running the cat and o2 sensor.
I wouldn't bother with the header unless yours is an 8 valve. I've heard the 16 valve exhaust manifold flows well enough to nullify any gains a header would add.
-
just wonderin

ok here is one pass it is with the leak in the manifold but you tell it is not loud or ricer
-

and here is the other pass. bigred i do have a full cat and o2 sensor infact i went from catless 2 inch to with cat and 2.25 and there is now more punch in each gear i think mostly due to no bends in the pipe just straight back i will just dump it down infront of the axle. i really hope that there is no casting problem as it seemed tight but leaks all round the joint. i was going to take a picture of the actual exhaust but you know what one looks like so never mind
-
that sounds awesome >:D 8)
-
yeah it does have a nice sound plus that is also with the modified air box (drilled like swiss cheese) but the two together are nice....i did have a little issue today when dthe hanger disconected and it needed a quick fix on the side of the highway. but i really want to fix the manifold.
-
I have a Cherry Bomb muffler on my 16v, it sounds just like my old Civic, just not as loud. I love it ;) I especially like it when the civic's and neon's pull beside me at a stop light, they look at me funny when we take off :D
Right now, mine stops at the end of the muffler, I didn't get an over-axle pipe made yet, but I did clamp on a reducer at the end of the muffler to tone down the loudness and vibration in the cab.
However, I am changing the exhaust soon, allthough I do like the sound, every trip out wheeling I brake something related to the exhaust... or pull it off the hangers. I want to run 2" straight back with a supertrapp slip-on like Zig and Mike have.
-
my wife was like " it sounds like a corvette!!"
Take a listen to "wow" on the watercooler.
I wonder if they left the cat on that one. ;D
-
Lil Suzy (1.6 8V) runs a Calmini header to 2.5 inch pipe into a high flow cat then on to a glass pack (I think it is a Thrush) and on to the back bumper using the shortes route possible. the pipe is almost straight. I have been told that it does not sound at all like a four banger. the sound is deep and rich, I am very happy with it.

I run 2.5" from the Thorley back with a couple of slight offsets to tuck it to the floor and to a flowmaster offset and 2" out the back like a stocker. No cat allowed!!!! I have been told by several people that it sounds like an extreme chainsaw!!!! Very deep tone but screams though the gears and mellow at 40 in 4th. 8)

The glasspack/cherrybomb I run on my 97 1.8L is getting a little "burned" out. It pops every time I let out of the gas. It really rumbles out of the 16"x3" stainless tip. The sound is not like anything else, not a tuner car and definitely not a v8 truck ,but it still sounds pretty cool.
-
i got 2 cherry bombs on mine , 2" joined before the 2.5" tip. sounds fantastic, blew the flowers out of the garden, but i wish i would have dumped it out the pasenger side, would have been a bit easier on the ears.
