Default I... Have a question.

Ok so I'm bored of my old Flowmaster Super 44 muffler.

I just recently gutted my cats and it sounds really good but the Flowmaster cuts back on the popping and raspy sound of the motor.

I've been looking at another Cherry Bomb but I can't decide if I want to get the Extreme or another glasspack. Either way, i'm getting true duals run on my truck this summer (hopefully) so my exhaust will really sound good then.

I know that glasspacks are louder and cheaper but the Extreme looks like a good choice and it only flows 10 CFM less then a glasspack.

I'll let y'all give me some advice before i make my decision.

I got my Extreme for $50 on ebay, much better than my old Super 44, no drone, and I could feel the power difference. Here's a clip of my truck in the driveway

sounds good! but go with an e-cut out with 2 90 degree bends off the back under the truck to solve the back pressure issue!

I used to have a setup like you have, Matt. I loved the loudass pop you get everytime the tranny shifted..

Maybe I'll just straight pipe my truck again.
I aint gotta get it inspected cause it's considered a farm truck to the state of North Carolina... hehe.

Pyro, did you get yours from a eBay store or a private seller? i know eBay is supposedly the safest online auction site but i still dont like it too much even though my grille guard came from a eBay store. lol yeah hypocritical, i know.

This is the guy I bought it from http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/performancepeddler/
He's got 26k feedback 99.3% positive. He shipped my stuff out immediately, I bought my grill from him too. I have no reservations about buying from him.

I had to look up Shelby on google maps... I didn't know where it was, and I grew up in NC. On the other side of the state though, in New Bern. Never made it out to western NC much.

Yea I actually posted that video to show that loud pop, but its the only sound clip I have so I figured something is better than nothing. It is nice but as soon as I get a lil money I am going to but a e-cutout and have the cutout welded into my straits and my stock muffler welded on the other outlet
