Cherry Bomb install??
I have an extra Cherry Bomb muffler from a truck project and figured i would see if it would fit on the jeep. Its 28" long and has 2.5" inlet and outlet, question is the factory muffler is about 2"s shorter and offset, is there a way to fit it in without much modification?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Your local auto store should have some kind of like little extension pieces, they can can also act as a coupler and change from one size to another, because the factory exhaust piping should only be 2 and 1/4 if i remember right and you said your bomb is 2 and 1/2, you should look into those, they should fit just fine!

It will blow hot exhaust directly at the rear axle and gas tank, possibly causing a fire or explosion. Also you'll prolly get fumes inside the vehicle that may or may not cause u to pass out or die. Other than that, it sould be fine.

or possibly take it up to a muffler shop and have them bend up a 2.5" pipe and run it to fit?

I've found that anytime i try to "rig" exhaust, it usually ends up costing more than just having it done. It usually leaks too. I would do it myself if i had the right equipment, such as a lift, welder, torches, bender, etc..
Exhaust is the one thing that i take my vehicles in for, its usually cheaper, easier, and a better end result. Just my opinion.
