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........

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

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.
