Cherry Bombs are mufflers that do not contain baffles and thus produce less back-pressure in the exhaust system than a conventional muffler. This lower back-pressure allows the exhaust system to scavenge more of the combustion gases from the cylinder while the exhaust valve is open. On the intake stroke the cylinder is at a lower pressure and contains less by-products of combustion and thus is able to take in a greater volume of the air/fuel mix. Since less energy is used to compress combustion byproducts and more fuel is available to produce energy the result is a more efficient conversion of energy per crankshaft revolution. It should be noted that if your exhaust system has a catalytic converter or many bends, the addition of a baffle free muffler may not have a noticeable effect on the exhaust back-pressure when measured at the exhaust valve (where back-pressure has the most effect).

The EGR system is used to lower combustion temperatures and thus reduce the oxides of nitrogen (NO) present in your exhaust. When you lower the back-pressure below the manufacturer's design level you change the calibration of the EGR system which may raise the level of NO in your exhaust. NO is a component of smog and acid rain. Higher combustion temperatures can also lead to preignition, commonly called spark knock, which can damage your engine.
