Hey guys im going to get a new exhaust and just had a quick question, I really like the sound of the cherry bomb extremes, and I was thinking of a si/do muffler. At the same time I want to try to help the MPG alittle bit, im already running a superchips and the plenum is fine. Do you think this muffler will help or hurt the mpg and if it will hurt what exhaust do you suggest, I read the flowmasters are more restrictive so thats why im looking at the cherry bomb. Also what size piping do you suggest? Thanks guys

 

As far as I know any exhaust restriction reduction will be directly proportional to a corresponding increase in engine efficiency. I have no idea about the exact relationship though....

 

i got the mangnaflow direct fir cat that made a huge difference compared to my cat back... also my headers helped a ton

 

i have cherry bomb extreme, and a highflow cat make a BIG diffrence in sound also !
i have a 2000 ram also so you need a universal magnaflow car 94000 si/so can buy it for 80 buck and have a shop install it for you . help in the low end too . good luck ! i have vids in my youtube of it

 

LASTRIGHTS: did u do dual cats? or y pipe and one cat and one pipe with cherry bomb.

 

Thanks guys for the replies but what do y'all think about my main two questions.

Will the extreme help or hurt the gas mileage?

What size piping should I have going in and out with a si/do muffler

 

Ok, little tongue in cheek here.....

At first, the loud exhaust is going to hurt your mileage. Reason being: It sounds good, and you will want to hear it, so, you will find yourself stepping on the loud pedal harder for a while. Once the novelty wears off? Probably won't make much difference, you will get a bit more power from the engine though.

2.5 to 3 inch up to the muffler. Then, 2.25, or 2.5 for the outlets. Smaller diameter pipe will give a little bit better bottom end.

Of course, if you are still running stock manifolds, that will lessen any gains you will see.

 

Anyone ever order from discountexhaustsystems.com?? What do you guys think of Gibson exhausts? Or The SummitRacing kits on summitracing.com?

 

Heyyou thanks for the input I know ill want to hear it for awhile but a long as the muffle is not going to make worse mpg then that sounds good.

Bmyze316 don't hijack threads with questions not pertaining to the original post.

Anybody else with thoughts on this muffler. Thanks again

 

My question was for both of us bud. you asked for recommendations on exhausts I asked about Gibson and Summit because we both have a common interest in exhausts. The answer would help us both. So my question had everything to do with your original post. It's not like I asked about Spark plugs or something. Do you always take things the wrong way?
