not so happy with cherry bomb

well i got a cherry bomb extreme for my 92 f150 with 5.0L, i will say that is it deeper then the glasspack but its not so much louder as so i was told by cherry bomb and people on here. so just to let people know that if your getting one dont expect it to be louder.

Flowmasters on the 5.0. They were too loud on my Mustang, I replaced them with Turboflows.

i think that the muffler shop didnt put it in the right place, he put the muffler right in front of the then ran my duals but i think that he should have had put to muffler closer to the cat then ran the dual. wat do you guys think?

Don't forget the muffler isn't broken in yet and isn't as loud as it will be.

On my 93 5.0L that I just put it on it is loud loud loud. wonder what the difference is? I have about 3" between the cat and the muffler just so i would have enough room to turn a pipe out before the tire

When they did mine they just cut out the old muffler and put it where the old muffler was.

my cherrybomb pro is getting louder and louder each day. when we say broken in. The older the louder. the metal begins to age with the exhaust.

my truck sounds awesome with a cherry bomb good deep sound btw a glasspack is the same as a cherry bomb. Cherry bomb is just a company that produces glass packs my exhaust ends just after the cab its not to loud but it has a great tone

I have a cherrybomb pro with turn downs on an 07 5.4. Great sounding muffler, I just wish it got a little louder with increasing RPM's. When I open my back glass all I hear is a loud wind sound caused by the design of the muffler instead of a rumble. This muffler definitely sounds best at low RPM's.

Cherry Bomb makes more than just glasspacks.
