Default Cherry Bomb Extreme Muffler

Thinkin about puttin this baby on my 4.0 http:

//www.amazon.com/Cherry-Bomb-7426-Extreme-Muffler/dp/B0018GSVG0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1331588478&sr=8-3

I want to put it on but keep the rest of the exhaust stock. Any people out there that have done this already? Any opinions? I know the outlet is a 2.5 inch, but I can always get an adapter to fit the stock tailpipe. I want to keep it legal, so the easiest way to exit the back is through the stock pipe. Eventually I'll do a custom pipe back. For now, I'm goin the poor man's way.

Yeah, I know. But the cherry bomb is cheaper and it has a more aggressive tone to it. Trust me, I compared them side by side multiple times. haha. I gotta go with the cherry bomb.

I picked up a muffler from a yard sale for $15 it came off civic and it sounds so smooth. My buddy welded it in for $20. If you got the hook up, shop around, nothing cheaper than that!

Yeah, I'll either use clamps or have my buddy weld it for me. I suck at welding. I can use a torch and some filler, but for some reason I just can't weld. Another reason I want the cherry bomb is because its louder than the flowmaster. Most guys take the cat off, I wanna keep mine legal.
