thinkin a cherry bomb....and calgary's quite a drive, i'm in rocky

cherry bomb will just make people roll their eyes when you drive by. if you want a good sounding exhaust, get something like a flowmaster, its like an extra what, 60$?. i used to runa 40 series; quiet with a nice sounding note. i think the 50s are a little louder, but at least it won't sound like a backfiring mis-timed hicked-up chevy 350 (which i roll my eyes at)
remember, loud doesn't equal cool. but cool can sometimes be loud........

:o :'( mine does not sound like a backfiring mis-timed hicked-up chevy 350! >:(

me thinks JohnnyC is jelous of the xj! ;D
-
sorry grew up listening to them ;) little biased lol
i've grown tired of loud exhausts cause when you go wheeling and someone gets stuck, its just annoying to listen to an overly loud exhaust!
but, some people like their cucumbers pickled, so whateva floats your boat is cool with me
-
lol well at least mine is not overly loud, i wanted a little grunt to it but nothing excesive. :)
-
i had a Hooker Super Comp on mine and it was good built my own tailpipe with dump for it was just enough to get the pop pop pop on deceleration
-
well it's my first vehicle so its supposed to be loud :)
-
on my 2.5 tj i just took the cat off it cost me nothing because i am friends with the owner of the muffler shop, it gave me alot more power and the truck sounds nice with the factory muffler.
-
my 2 cents, if it is for trail use as well don't put a back firing straight through muffler that could cause a fire. You can have load / nice performance sound without the backfiring 0 restriction. More power with some restriction as well. Had a cherry bomb on a 258 and did not like it as well.
-
FloPro V-Force is a nice sounding muffler. Its got a nice rumble to it. Theres a couple vids shootin around on u-tube if you want to hear the sound.
-
well this isn't the hardcore play toy its a dd. also how would a blue bottle sound on a six? even close to an 8 cylinder sound
-
I have a cherry bomb Turbo on my ZJ. It sounds mean, but doesn't get that annoying rap like a glasspack does. Its got 8 fire holes, not sure how it would sound on a 6.
My previous red neck chevys had 3" pro flow, and 3" diesel exhaust (on a gasser, previous owner did it, but it did sound pretty good)
The pesent sierra has dynomax on but its rather quiet

I am with JOhnnyC... there are way too many shi**y sounding vehicles on the road these days (straight piped Harleys get the gold especially when the rider has a skull bandanna over their face... rice burners w/ a 6" muffler hanging/dragging out the back get the silver... and the bronze has to go to the Cummings Turb0 diesel). They are ALL pretty much just loud & annoying or sound like a red neck leaf blower ???
IMHO... it's hard to screw up the sound of a V8 but it takes shear "Harry Potter wizardry" make a I4 or a I6 sound good.
OH ya... an answer to your question... I run a Magnaflow and it sounds decent... I don't feel like a hick while driving it... and no one rolls their eyes at me ::)
Us Jeep guys need to be a little more discriminating in our tastes and set a good example for the "offenders" to follow 8)

right now it has some sort of 12'' red (could be rust coloured) bottle. not a glasspack way different sound and its not horribly loud. also had some sort of flowmaster before? but that got sawzalled pretty quick lol. What did the cats look like....cuz i don't think thats the cat but first jeep so no clue
-
x2 on Calgary Muffler, great guys, had me in and out in 30 minutes with a great weld job and all new brackets. Im running a magnaflow Catback sytem with a high performance Dynomax muffler.
Don't take your cat off, its crap for the environment and the HP gains are minimal (1-5HP) , if not non-existent. Running no CAT is just more ammo for people who want to shut down wheeling in Alberta.

South Hill Brake and Muffler in Red Deer. Tell them exactly what you want.
-
dont get me wrong, the only reason i went with the cherry bomb was it was cheap, i kinda have spent too much lately and need to put my kidney for sale to pay off jeep bills ::)
-
well the cherry bomb rap off is kinda what i'm lookin for but i dont really want people rollin their heads when i go by.....and if its to loud can't really be sneakin into the gf's place lol can't win....magnaflow's sound pretty good....might go with one of those
-
That turbo or supercharger winding up and the wastegate dumping when you shift tends to make the ricerockets crap in their drawers tho. Couple that with a stroker with the right cam and a good quiet, but not over muffled exhaust and you'd have a winner I bet, I6 or not. I'm dying to try it, but haven't won the lottery (YET).
Sounds like wizardry to me ;D

As far as noise concerns go, I'm with JohnnyC & Muffintop. As soon as your Jeep sounds like a car with a 1.3L engine, a transaxle, & a tailpipe thicker than Rosie O'Donell's cankles, you lose harder than the guy who tried to ride his bicycle across the Yellowhead in Edmonton last week.

my grand is a 6 and i have the turbo, some people would have heard it at the 101, it's a little loud for the bush. no one wants to hear a nasty sounding truck when wheelin, well i don't.

I have the Aero performance muffler on my WJ with the H.O. 4.7 and it sounds amazing...bought it and had it installed at Calgary Muffler, also removed the the large cat. one of the three on there.. The Aero is basicly a Flowmaster just costs less!... I know the v8 is gonna sound quite a bit different than a I6 , but thought I would just throw that out to ya....
-
Okay I also rolled my eyes at the name "cherry bomb" but it was what local parts guys carried. So I had em drop on off which I then installed, nice HD black case, installed great and I'm pretty happy with it. Not too loud or droning, just a little noise to remind you it's there. Followed pookapotamus on trail the other day and his wasn't annoying to be behind, and I'm turning into a grumpy old fart that doesn't like loud exhaust anymore.

I have a FlowMaster super 40 on my 98 XJ, with NO catalytic converter. Sounds nice at idle and under load.

No converter? Curious what did you do with the o2 sensor?
