Cherry bombs
I have a friend who told me as trick of his
When you get a Cherry bomb cap both ends and fill it with gasoline. This is supposed to eat away the rubber rstricters, so it will sound like a straight piped truck.
This friend likes Chevrolet only, so I thought I'd ask someone with knowledge in trucks what they think of this idea.

doing what your buddy was saying, putting gas in the bombs, gets the fiberglass packing inside saturated with gas so that they will burn out when they get hot enough. I've done this and it works but when you do it and run your truck it will smoke like hell for the first 20 minuts. its kinda risky only in that sometimes the cherry bombs wind up sounding awful as a result. Just put the 18" bombs on and let them burn out on their own, it doesnt take long, plus they can be pretty cool sounding and cheap.

That and filling them with gas essentially turns them into bombs under the truck. Kind of like the one dummy on the net that designed a Flame thrower system fueled by gas, problem was that he put the nozzels ahead of the mufflers.

I agree with 351 on that one, you might actually get a CHERRY BOMB affect if u put gas in em, if you want them to blow out get em hot then shove a water hose in there!

They burn out fast either way, the ones I had burnt out in under a month, well, one did anyway.

If you are going to go spend the cash on a Flow you might as well drop the extra bit on a Magnaflow and get the flow to go with the sound. Sorry but it still baffles me how people can like a muffler with that design and especially when it seems to make almost every mustang I have ever seen sound like a giant vacum cleaner. Thats only my opinion though. Almost everyone that I have recomended Magnaflow to seems to like them and others are switching to them. The 40 series I had actually cost me performance over a cherrybomb turbo muffler that was removed for it. (car is now straight piped and has never ran better) Exhaust flow essentially makes power and flowmasters don't really seem to cut it.
