Default exhaust question "glasspack"

im going to buy a 30'' long cherry bomb glasspack but need to do a little bit of chopping to make it fit. i have to move the cat back a good bit and maybe move the muffler more towards the end to make this work. anyone have one on theirs? does it sound good? how did you make it fit?

we put one on my freinds tj and it didnt sound rice at all. i am going to put one on mine soon. ill do a write up. have you thought about just cutting the cat out completely. thats what we did on the tj.

o yeah and it sounds much better than the flow master he had on there before. a little quieter and a nicer sound.

I have one on in place of the muffler with a turn out before the rear tire,and i love how it sounds,and its not loud at all.it sounds like a nice exhaust,heck i like it better than my buddies flow master super 44.i also like the abuse it will take off road,ive beaten mufflers to death a couple of times,but those cherry bombs are tuff.

heres mine with a cat, and flex pipe ran out the back


it was alright but got annoying cause the flex pipe bounced around it was really annoying to hear clanging every time i hit a bump. now i just run no muffler with cat to a side pipe. but yeah they dont sound rice and i ran just a cherrybomb after the cat and dumped before the axle and it sounded pretty good. but hung way to low. no emissions here though either.
