Cherry Bomb size
So I got a glasspack, two inch outlet and inlet, and its about 26 inches in length. At the pep boys by my house, they have a 26 or 22 inch. Approximately around there. Which size should I get? Opinions. Thanks.

Longer is quieter, shorter is louder.. the flow rate is the same, if the engine is stock, with no power adder's stay with the stock Diameter, 2 inch is fine.. larger diameter on a stock engine will cause you to actually lose power. the length is more a matter of what will fit, and your personal taste as far as how loud you want... I have 40 inch with 2.5 inch inlet and outlet, but I also have a modded engine.. the long Glass Pack give a deep rich sound, better for everyday driving and long drives..

I ended up getting the 23inch. I seen this video that has a 18inch it sounded really loud but too loud for me. So, i got the 23. After cutting out the old muffler and slapped the cherry bomb on, i was disappointed. I was expecting a nice loud but not too loud rumble.
Something like this.
I know it's five inches longer but, honestly, mine sounds like the regular muffler it had on. I haven't gotten it on the street since I don't have a bed, tail lights, or tags. I just turned it on in my backyard on idle and revved it up. Kinda disappointed. Am I doing something wrong? Or did I get what I paid for? Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. Have finals and work.
It's all stock. Just manifolds.

It's all personal preference but the glass pack sound doesn't do it for me. It sounds like an old farm truck with straight pipes. Jegs sells a Flowmaster copy for $29.99 each and I believe free shipping. I like deep and throaty with that hot rod sound. Of course; a stock engine won't get you quite there but the right muffler helps. I'm in AZ too.

I'll definitely do that. That video I put said it's all stock and I love the sound of it when it drives away. I figured I'd needed to slap on a glasspack and it'll sound great. Alright, I'll get some headers and advance the timing. Any idea on how much headers run for?

I decided to google it and I found some Patriot headers for 224 on Autozone. Summit Racing has some Patriot ones for around the same price. How are the Patriot brand? Will I get the sound and power with the ones I posted?

Sorry for the newbie questions. One more thing, if I just purchased headers using manifolds, it would sound better? Or a combination of cherry bomb AND headers will make it sound even better?
