exaust question

What do yall think about old fashioned cherry bombs? I have a chance to get a set of new ones for free.I know I have to do something after I get my motor built,I still have the original 86 drum muffler on mine,its got a good sized hole in it and when you hit on it you can hear the rust rattiling around

I had good luck with the 4" DynoMax ultra-flow muffler I installed with a complete midpipe and tailpipe - sounds great and got a $25 rebate so the price sounded as good as the muffler. They also make them in other sizes...

but free is free.....

they have a very loud "blat" to them Rick,especially after you left off it or downshift.
it's basically a straight pipe loud noise,with blat added.
it seems to be a loved or hated sound (or noise lol.)
better hope your not loaded up and going up hill with a cop on your tail.the probability of a ticket would be high (at least without a turbo.)

"I dont want to sound like a teenager going down the road !"
