V-10 w/ Cherry Bombs ?!?!!!
My trucks is a 99 F-250 SD w/ the 6.8L V-10. Currently I am running a single in dual out Flowmaster Super 50 w/ 6 in tips. I have the stock primary and secondary Cats still. I was wondering how much better this truck will sound If I cut off the Muffler and make a single in dual out coupler to the 2 cherry bombs, I'm thinkin 3 footers. I know these V-10's need back pressure to run well so I think w/ the 2 cats and the 2 glasspacks it should be okay.....

I've yet to hear anybody explain why an engine needs backpressure for low end (or any other reason). Surely someone somewhere has done back-to-back dyno pulls to prove this or something?
Myself, I don't believe it.

Why such long glasspacks? I would go with a couple 12" glasspacks to get a little more sound. The cats already do most of the muffling. I went from the factory exhaust on my F-250 to dual 2.5" pipe with no mufflers, (no cats required 
) and stacks that are 5" x 60", and I didn't notice any lag in performance.

I have 3 buddies w/ the F-250 SD's and they told me they got straight pipes on their V-10's...sounded good but they were hard to start and ran like **** after they had the pipes put on, 1 guy went back to stock while the other two went to flowmaster. Even the worker at the Muffler Shop agrees to only put y pipes on these trucks and always have the cat.
so will 2 cherry bombs sound better than my 50 series muffler ?
