How long are your cherry bombs? The shorter the glasspack the more crackle it will have. I'd say 24" would do ok, 12" have alot of crackle to them...so I'd probly settle in the middle with around 17". Just my $.02

For the most part turbo mufflers dont have much a crack to them. IMO the best way to get a good crack back out of exhaust is go true duals off headers with 1.5" pipe into some huge echo cans. No cherry bombs/glass packs/turbo muffs, none of that, just good ol strait pipes.

talk about restiction if you ask me. My dads 4.6l Mustang crackles pretty good under deceleration. He's got dual FM40's. 2-chamber i believe. anyways just a suggestion. look into the FM line. i'm not to big on them but they sound good on his car.

I've heard that smaller pipe (i.e., 2") will give you the sound you're looking for. Let us know what you do... I'm curious to see what works for you.
