catalytic converter/cherry bomb
I have a 1990 F150, 5.8L, 351W, two wheel drive, extended cab, long bed. Does anybody know if the catalytic converter is filled with the ceramic beads or the honeycomb?
I put a cherry bomb on it (single exhaust) and it is not loud at all. In fact I ran it with just the CAT and it seemed to muffle the sound better than my muffler did. The cherry bomb I have is 22" and is straight through pipe, I assumed it could be mounted in either direction as there was no airflow arrow. If I left the CAT alone will that cherry bomb ever burn out or get louder? Is there a trick to burning it out faster?

And your Hayabusa is as quiet as a buick? Give me a break. I guess I should have specified I am not looking to wake the dead. That is why I left the CAT in place and it is only a single exhaust. This is a farm truck used for pulling. I just want to be able to hear the engine working under pressure.

I don't know how loud you want,but your truck has 2 converters and even with a cherry bomb it's not gonna be that aggressive sounding or loud.Your best bet is to take the cherry bomb off or get rid of the converters and put on a high flow one or just get rid of them all together.But like I said it all depends on how loud you like your exhaust.
