Default muffler upgrade

Anyone used Cherry Bomb? I'm looking to upgrade the exhaust on my 03 1500. Their website is not working so I can't find out if they have a system for the 5.7 hemi. So far I leaning toward the 50 HD from Flowmaster, but open to other ideas. Any feed back would be welcomed.

I put on the Flowmaster 50 series SUV in my Mega Cab. Sounds great and not too expensive. About $200 installed including removal of the resonator. Did the same on my previous truck. Mileage went up about 2 miles / gallon

Put in the Flowmaster 50 on my MegaCab and am very happy. Did the same on my last truck. Added power and gas mileage went up 2 mile/gallon. Sounds so good that I have a hard time keeping my foot out of it

I just saw a cherry bomb commercial on tv touting their return to the market.

I just tried their website and its working for me. Cherry Bomb

Sounds great but id be skeptical bc cherry bombs are known for their loss in torque. Check out my 40 deltaflow series on my 4.7 at................

go with the 40 because youll regret it later bc the 50 is too quiet while the 40 is NOT too loud to the point where you cant talk with some one on the phone or a passenger

I disagree,with the 40 on my truck the cab resonance almost drove me craze,I pulled the 40 off in a week and installed the 50. Its perfect,mild at idle,but sounds awesome when you nail it. The 50 will give you the adult hot rod sound,the 40 was loud enough that when I came home from work I woke all the neighbors.
