It is not legal to use in a National Forest, or any area which requires a "Spark Arresting" type muffler.

Other than that, The curved inlet/outlet let it slide over things and the casing is bullet-proof.

No, The cherry bomb is not significantly lounder than stock and it is a reasonably deap tone. They hold up VERY well to rocks.

I have one on both of my jeeps. On my 2.5 without a cat. it is pretty loud but on my 4.0 with a cat. it is just about comparable with a stock muffler.

the cherry bomb is great. louder than a stock muffler, but not ricey. it has its own tone. and like others have said its indestructable.

my cherry bomb is loud. I used to run with just a cat and it's 90% as loud as that. I did get the smallest one I could find though, just went behind the counter in Autozone and found the smallest cherry bomb box.

haha...nice brett, I have one and I got a longer one and mine is actually louder at idle than my old flow and alittle more quiet when I get on it, I went behind the counter and found the longest one I could...lol

depends what kind of cherry bomb he is talking about. they acyually make mufflers, too.....and they are pretty small....that's why I went with one. I'm pretty happy with it.

What if you go for 2.5"? Where could you get a 2.5" tailpipe?

I read some where that there is no difference in power or performance if you go 1/4 more and the 4.0 eat more gas and the gas prices are not helping

If noise is an issue, a cherry bomb WILL get louder as it ages....the fiberglass packing that is between the shell and the straight through perforated core will eventually blow out.....man, them things have been around for AGES...I had hair and all my teeth when I got my first one...and they ARE all but indestructable.
