CHERRY BOMB!!!!
« on: July 09, 2007, 05:09:24 PM »
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.

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

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.

Don't want a Ricer sound but something more muscular.

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. :)

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

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.
