How do you install a cherry bomb exhaust back box?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you mean a cat back exhaust with a cherry bomb muffler? It's either a bolt-on deal if you find a kit for your car, or you have a muffler shop install it, or you can do it yourself.

If you look at kits for other cars you can get an idea of what you'll need which is basically everything from your catalytic converter back, hence the term "cat-back".

So a new pipe from your cat to your new muffler, then from your muffler to the ex tip. Some cars are really easy, some are a royal pita. Trucks are usually very easy because they have plenty of room under there. A lowered Honda or Camero not so much, especially a V8 where you want dual ex but it came with a single ex.

If the exit of your cat is 2" then plan on using 2" pipe and muffler for the rest of the system.

Cherry Bomb mufflers suck, at least all the ones I've seen. Buy something like a DynoMax Race Flo, they flow so much better and sound better too. Just look thru the two mufflers if you don't believe me, the Race Flo obviously flows much better. Also avoid any muffler with louvers that protrude into the passage, they look like a cheese grater and they kill power, trust me. You want a muffler with no obstructions and a full size hole thru it. All the Cherry Bombs I've seen have a much smaller hole down the center than the main pipe is, this kills power. Basically when you look thru a muffler, imagine a fire hose blowing full blast thru it, whichever one looks like it would flow the best is the one you want. So far for me that's a Race Flow. I've seen the small versions for as little as $30, and the fat ones for closer to $80. They flow the same, but the fatter they are the better they muffle the sound plus they sound deeper and meaner.
