I like the more throatier rumble of the long tube glass pack. I've run that on my 90 for the past 4 years and on several K5's i've owned. even modded a set to fit on a yammy 650 bobber i built.

I'm taking about the 1st link provided. Long (in the picture it's longer than the second link) Tube (it's shaped like a cylinder) Glass Pack (glass pack cherry bomb)

I have the longer type on my YJ, and like it a lot but it's loud.

I have a Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler on my XJ (with cat) and it's a nice sound too. The cat makes it quieter though.

Remember that there is no spark arrestor on Cherry Bombs and if a Forest Ranger catches you you can get a big fine.

X2 !



I just put a custom 2.5" exhaust on my XJ with a 2.5" Downpipe to eliminate the factory kink, 2.5" hi flow cat, 2.5" Magnaflow Magnaflow muffler, and 2.5" Mandrel Bent tailpipe . It sounds really agressive when on the gas, has a nice mellow idle and sounds almost factory when on the hiway with no drone at all

I got all of the parts from Mudfrog on here for $203 shipped Minus the head pipe I had custom made at the local exhaust shop









The first video is a comparison stock vs custom

Crap I never thought of that...

I have the one in the first link and it doesnt sound like the audio they have. It sounds good but drones at freeway speeds. I opted for the glass pack so it wouldnt hang up on rocks etc but Im def gonna be throwing a spark arrestor on it.
