Default Cherry Bomb ???

Well I was wondering if anyone on here has put a cherry bomb glasspack on there xj if so how does it sound maybe a video or something ? None the less id like some input on how they sound on these straight sixes cause everything ive drove has had a v8 with a set of cherry bombs so got an extra set and i was just gonna throw one on there since its free i just want to know how it sounds first.

A video usually doesnt do mufflers justice. Flowmaster mufflers drone, while cherrybomb ones don't, as much. I have heard plenty of cherokee's with cherrybomb's and they don't sound all that bad. Since it's free why not throw it up and see if you like it.

I ran the cherry bomb for a while, but after being at the local mud hole with some of the trucks gone wild guys, I started to feel like it sounded a bit like a ricer. Don't get me wrong, it was good considering it was a free muffler, but it just wasnt for me, too high pitched. I even had the longest one that I know of I think it was 30" w/ 2.5" on each end. Maybe cause it was a 25 year old muffler, it came off of an old cj7. My friend wrecked it probably 2 weeks after he put them on and had em in storage ever since.

you have to cut it as close as you can to the body of the muffler. then make a horizontal cut along what is left of the muffler. then pry it off. had to do it once already. worked like a charm

I have a cherry bomb GP on mine. I like it, I also like the fact that it cost me a total of about $40 for a cat back.

For getting the old muffler off... rope and a solid tree..... just kidding.... or am I?

Yes sawsall or air hammer with cutting attachment should get your old muffler off pretty quick.
