what muffler? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72-blazer · 07-14-2009, 06:14 PM

I'm going to order a muffler tomorow so I can get my truck on the road but I dunno what one to get, I was thinking about getting an 8 inch glasspack from cherrybomb it will be single side exit exhaust in front of the rear wheel no matter what muffler it may be oh and their aint gunna be no cat.

jgh64pkup · 07-14-2009, 06:19 PM

dynomax bullet or flowmaster super 40

BREIT1 · 07-14-2009, 07:14 PM

a cherrybomb glass pack is stupidly expensive, a flowmaster super 40 is around 80-90$ a piece and 1 cherrybomb is 150$, trust me, i was gonna get a pair for my new truck

bumslie75 · 07-14-2009, 07:19 PM

Go with the flow

benoit454 · 07-14-2009, 07:43 PM

cherry bomb glasspacks for more then 40 bucks or so no way. I seen them in my summit book for like 30-40 and some like flowtech are only 20 or so.

Now the stainless steel ones yea, but reg. no way.

I'd vote for summit chambered for deep tone yet kinda qieut, or go with the cherry bomb extremes for about 50 or 60 each they sound exactly like the flow 40's and are even a bit louder when you get on the gas, I love them.

jgh64pkup · 07-14-2009, 07:47 PM

cherry bomb glasspacks are 20 a peice at pepboys
cherry bomb extreme are 55 on jegs
cherry bomb vortex are 85 on jegs
dynomax bullets are 40 on jegs
flowmasters start at 79 on jegs

pokethesmot · 07-14-2009, 07:50 PM

i want flow master 40s so so bad...i have cherry bomb turbos on my truck right now and there alright but if ur paying money for it u dont want alright ya might aswell pay the little extra and get great

jgh64pkup · 07-14-2009, 08:04 PM

DO NOT get flowmaster delta forces they dont even sound like a flowmaster

72-blazer · 07-14-2009, 08:05 PM

Ya alot of people have flowmasters and I dont like bieng alot of people, But I do like how they sound I think I might look into the dynomax bullets see how they sound

louder50 · 07-14-2009, 08:19 PM

I've been thinking about running 2 1/4" straight pipes with no mufflers but I'm afraid it'll be way too loud so I've been leaning towards glass packs, and everybody says Cherry Bombs sound the best of the glass packs??

blazenlo95 · 07-14-2009, 08:20 PM

Whatever you go with let us now how it sounds. I'm lookin for some mufflers myself.

I prefer the bombs over the flows anyday, especially if you're dumping them any fashion except rear exit. My .02

PRUNEDA · 07-14-2009, 08:36 PM

I've always been a Flowmaster fan, but If you don't want to go with them I would go with the bullets.

72-blazer · 07-14-2009, 08:45 PM

I think im goin for either a cherrybomb or a bullet, ill let everybody know when i get one. Oh and whats the factory exhaust size 2 1/4 or 2 1/2?

Pyrotechnic · 07-14-2009, 09:15 PM

If you have long tube headers, glasspacks or bullets will sound good. No offense to those that run this combo, but I don't like the sound of glasspack style mufflers along with manifolds. Flowmasters tend to sound good with manifolds, but it gets even better if you have headers.

jgh64pkup · 07-15-2009, 10:13 AM

when i had dumpoffs on my delta force flows it sounded more like a flowmaster than it does now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a4UJbtYJGQ

heres the bullets they sound better with a pretty big cam
im not sure whos car this is i know its a ferd but it was the best vid i could find

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMrdAo7Wc9k

i forgot about spintechs they sound good also
once again bigger cam sounds way better

Has anybody run the spiral inserts for a street muffler? Here is some from speedway as an example. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedw...fler,1736.html

Hmmm, could be an option when I get the exhaust done on the K20.

what in the world are these supposed to do

GMC91 · 07-16-2009, 01:20 AM

I got 2 original cherry bomb glass packs under my truck and it didnt cost me more than $40 for the mufflers, and only $90 in all to do it myself.

rennat_2006 · 07-16-2009, 01:58 AM

Im running 2 summit race mufflers from Summitracing.com on my 77 with a 400. They look and sound the exact same as a flowmaster 40 series but less than half of the price, $28 a piece!

I can try and get a video if you guys want it.

mongoose · 07-16-2009, 02:35 AM

spintechs, borla xr-1, or magnaflows..

lets hear it man

Driveway Dreams · 07-16-2009, 04:44 PM

I wondered about those too. Get us a video please!

The spiral ones are supposed to help extract the exhaust and quiet it enough to be legal for racing. I think with the right pipe setup they might work nice on the street. And, they are cheap!

Rollinsqrbdy · 07-16-2009, 11:30 PM

Whats a dynomax bullet look like and what does it cost? That mustang made the hairs stand up whooooooo. I like ( the sound not the ford) hehehe J/K
