Hehehehe, you could've used "oh by the way, i've got a 300 I6" where you put V6. Most 6's, V or I, sound almost the same. Most of 'em sound like imports. It's the stroke that matters, that's what sends it down a couple of octaves...
My truck sounds like a ricer now that I got the headers on! It sounded better before!! I'm seriously thinking of going with a quiter muffler now... less embarrassing. If I had a cam, it'd be different!

I had a 1999 F-150 4.2L v6 with Cherrybomb Vortex mufflers. The muffler was a rectangular one and sounded pretty good, but not a V8 rumble...more of a cat growl. It was pretty cool, kinda loud, but not overly loud. The other Cherrybomb is a Glasspack. These are long oval tubes that use a fiberglass packing to create a deep tone. I don't know if your's is a glasspack, sounds like it from the description but kinda big to be a glasspack. They are relatively cheap, around $30 max, and they sound ok, but not really great for a V6 or I6. I think they're designed for V8's. For a V6 or I6, whatever you have, go with a performance muffler, like the cherrybomb vortex, or the flowmaster 50 or 70 series.

The thing is really a foot wide? How cool! and the pipe coming out is 9 inches in diameter!? The ultimate coffee can fart-catcher ricer muffler! Ha ha!
Sorry, just that's an awful big exit pipe. Reminds me of a guy's Eclipse that I know. It sounds really big for a true Cherry Bomb, though. Cherry Bombs aren't reall wide (diameter), that I've seen anyway. They're a tube, maybe 6 inches wide at most, with holes at each end, basically.
Let us know if you find out what it is.
