I had puple hornies for a long time.  I guess they made a rap.  Certainly didn't pop.  I had them on a 2" system and they were noisy.  I then had them on a 2 1/2" system and they were loud.  They sounded good on both.  They were going to get me in trouble on the 2 1/2" system.  Honestly, I thought they were too loud for the performance level of the truck with the 2 1/2" system but it sounded good.  I like the db level of the exhaust to be a direct compliment to the performance level of the vehicle.

Not much of an issue for my truck, I already installed the Cherry Bombs. Old school, deep, & loud as H&ll, lol.

IDK...I can't think right off the top of my head..i would deifinitley stay away from louvered though..go perforated core.

The Cherry Bombs are perforated cores as it turns out. I believe they used to be louvered or memory confused them with another, Thrushes?

i thought cherry bombs where perforated cores??? not louvered??? maybe i'm confused..but if so...should matter which way it's installed...it's the louvered ones that'll make a difference

Cherry Bombs are 32" long, about 4" in diameter. How did you use the car manifolds on the drivers side?

Got a stock 272 with headers, 2 1/2 409 stainless and flow masters that dump in front of the tires.  Its like a sheep in wolfs clothing.  A real deap sound that will bark pretty loud at 60.  It might not be for everyone but its sweet music to my ears even at $4.00 a gal

Hey Greg,

   how long of Cherry Bombs and what diameter? Just wondered. Think I'm going to do 2 1/4" that are 18" long on my Unibody 292 with modified car manifoldds.

My Uni will get Cherry Bombs (installed backwards) when the 292 goes in it.

If I remember, 50s hot rodders favored one glasspack and one steelpack. Best of both worlds.
