A lot of people think a cherrybomb glasspack sounds really bad. But if you like the wide open sound of raw power, but with a slightly lower tone(like I do) then get a cherrybomb. If you dont, then just go spend a lot more money and get a Flowmaster or somethin like it... but thats just what I think

I've got 87510 on mine. Just used a six inch piece of flex tube to give it the effect of an offset to hook back up to the tail pipe. Sounds good too

cherry bomb turbo muffler center in off set out paid less than $30 with tax for mine at Checkers auto

If you want to run a straight glass pack just figure the angle you would need for a elbow on each end of the pack to compensate for for the center in out

Not the best shot, but you get the jest of it. The exhaust runs all the way to the rear in the factory location. The pic is from when i split my rear carrier and had to pull the rear drive shaft to limp home.

Go with the turbo muffler if you really want to run a tailpipe. But if you dont care about the tailpipe and want a really wide open sound get a glasspack

I looked at doing a glass pack with mine, however it looked to be a bit too much work since I didn't want to replace the tail pipe (it would have to be bent at a shop) I tried a straight pipe for a few weeks, but it was just too loud. Glass pack didn't sound that great to me ether.
I instead installed a center in off set out Merit "VX Performance muffler" its about as loud as a Flowmaster 40, but half the price, same baffle design.
Sounds much different in person, more V8 like sound, but here is a video of it>>>
Just another option that is available to you.
Good luck.

I know you are reviving a really old post, but the Thrush Welded for $35 (a Flowmaster clone) is awesome.

If you like the sound of glasspack when new, you probably will think it's too loud 6 months later. They do get louder with time. If you go glass pack, consider upgrading your sound system. lol The cherry bomb does sound cool when first installed though.
