[@snoopu2601]

I had the old cherry bomb on my straight 250 6 cylinder it sound great on my 1947 Chevy coupe stylemaster. Then i took them off and put a very quiet mufflers where you can't even hear the car on. I like it that way so the neighbor's don't hear me coming and going. Before they would hear me starting my car at 5 am and coming home at 9 pm.
I liked it in my younger year's now I want a quiet sound

[@79tazman]

@@tuckerlegg7236 I've ran long tube headers with 3 inch pipe with no muffler all the way back to tail pipes and it did sound alright but you need back pressure if it's a daily driver if it's a 1/4 or 1/8 mile car straight pipe is the way to go but dailys need to have back pressure to run good

[@dondagy9109]

Im partial to the glass packs. I installed my first set of Cherry Bombs in 1970 ( I was 16) on my 64 Olds Cutlass F85 when I changed it over to dual exhaust. Absolutely loved the sound! You know, I still have the Cherry Bomb window stickers that came with them..as came with all performance parts at that time period! Great video!!

[@DJTAZ1996]

The cherrybomb extreme sounded best to me. Had a good rumble/growl sound and would be beast with dual exhaust

[@salgoudnedrac5489]

Good comparisons & they sound great, On my Silverado 1500 302 I decided to connect from the cat with a flex connector to a cherry bomb to a small 90° drop connection to a resonator tip dumped out in front of rear wheel. Ditch the U pipes under your truck & hook one of those up as a straight exhaust, the difference will amaze you. Thanks for the video.

[@saltysteel3996]

It's hard to beat the original glass pack sound.

Thank you for Doing this comparison and the Work involved. I just made an appointment to have a pair of the Vortex installed on my 454 Camaro in a couple weeks . The ones on there now sound like baloney farts . Great Video, into included . Many thanks

[@egreenie3819]

Back in 80's in my mudding days, I always had 2 cherry bomb glasspacks on my truck.😁 Now that I'm older, I'd have to go with the single cherry bomb turbo😔...lol

I used the Vortex on my Challenger 3.6 engine. It had a good deep sound and opened up good at full throttle.
I have a couple of videos on TH-cam running them.
One a top speed run and the other a drive off and drive by sound.

[@mr.babycolonte7190]

Like the video idea of showing each perspective of driving by, idle and interior sound. You’re not just putting the camera in front of the exhaust and revving it up. 🤙

"All of those mufflers... One by one..." I saw you thinking there lol. I've been looking for what you do in the next video for awhile but i'm going to watch this one first.

I agree with you the cherry bomb Vortex has a aggressive deep sound. Thanks again for the Vid

Glass packs always sound amazing and get better the longer you have them. I don’t get why they’re not more popular

In my opinion, any Chevy sounds good with a Cherry bomb. I remember having a cherry bomb glasspack and high flow cat on my 94 Chevy Cavalier with the 2.2 liter. It sounded awesome.. Great job on this video. Keep up on the good work.

[@chuppoacobra]

Excellent!! I have been on the fence for a while as to what to throw onto my ,02 Silverado (4.8) and my '08 Tahoe (5.3). This vid gives me some ideas based on what you have shown us.

[@jamesguidry3995]

This was a very thorough muffler test & was not boring at all . The gentleman went about his work as if it were a piece of cake . Very informing video . For those of us who are very particular about the sound our vehicles' make may go through 4 or 5 systems before being satisfied . A low V8 mellow sound at highway speeds is a very pleasing experience .Too bad you don't drive a V8 Ford , they have the best sounding engine of all the 8 cylinder vehicles made and an ( H ) makes them sound even better . Good job my friend , well done !!

[@fwjchimschurmanchannel]

Very helpful! Great work man

[@jamest.5001]

They sound even better with short or no tail pipes. I spent A LOT of money learning this... I'd put them behind the Axel with a short pipe or a exhaust tip with muffler close to the end of the pipe as possible. It can make a major difference, if you gotta have tail pipes, the larger in diameter as possible helps. But still short, or turn downs or turn outs, even just a tip like a 3" by 12" long to a 4" by 18" tip after the muffler. It will sound awsome.. Great video... Something like this could have saved me a load of money years ago. I spent near $1000 on cat back systems , listening to other ppl. Mostly muffler shops. One put 2" tailpipes on my dual 2.5" exhaust! And for what they charged it should have been 2.5-3", I got pissed and cut it off! With flow masters, it sounded great! The tail pipes made the flow masters sound like glass packs!!! But with no tails, it sounded awesome!! Expensive lessons!! Atleast I was taught something!!! Great video...

[@jackpinnell3204]

Thanks for making this video. It was a lot of work and bother on your part. Very fun and interesting for us viewers. I'm in agreement with your number one choice. I wish I could have my four cylinder car sound that good.

[@Middle850]

I like these exhaust and great video, but I have to say depending on what kind of sound you are looking for I am partial to flowmaster 40 series. I have a 2001 Silverado Z71 5.3L with a single side exhaust and it sounds great! Low rumble and solid smooth tone. Not blaring but you can definitely hear it. Very please with flow and sound of the 40 series single

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I went through a bunch with my Chevy. I eventually landed on Flowmaster super 44’s. They just sounded right with the 5.3 engine.

[@JammyCrackcorn]

Right…40 series or 44 series

[@anthonycrowe3775]

Love the video. Guys like you make it a bit more easy to decide. Thanks for this. It does really help. The cherry bomb vortex personally was my favorite and I have a Silverado and coincidentally looking for a new sound for it. Well I found it. Thanks bud.

The old school "Thrush" canister mufflers were the best. Sound better than all those demonstrated. In my own personal opinion. Would love to have a set or 3. Haven't seen them around in a long time.

Tough call between the glasspack and vortex for me.

[@christopherclark2476]

I’m currently shopping for an exhaust for my 2013 Altima. Your video helped a lot. Although you did it on a truck, your review was really informative. I’m currently leaning toward the glass pack but also want to check out the newer M80 one they have.

[@RubenFletcher]

Glass Pack - Yes
Extreme - Yes
Turbo - No
Vortex - Yes

[@N.n.i.k]

for a 5.3L V8..Sounds pretty orgasmic, would definetely own this pickup 😁

[@xedge4lifex]

I though, there is no way I'm watching an 18 minute video on muffler tone, when every other TH-cam video records sound at the tailpipe and spends 5 minutes talking up a 150 muffler that sounds the same on camera as some 15 dollar cherry bomb. You nailed all the right test and conditions, best exhaust review I've seen hands down. Turbo sounded best to me because of the mellow tone and got aggressive when you ripped on it. Great job man!

[@richardalvis4695]

thanks for the video. it proves to me that I was right in sticking with the flowmasters

[@freddyflintstoned913]

I moved to Florida and I do not miss the rust. It makes a truck lighter and faster.

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

Also have a 5.3 GMC Envoy and I agree, the Vortex sounded the best to me. My plan is to have a shop do a custom true dual exhaust from manifolds back (with H-pipe) and use two mufflers. I can put these Vortex on my list of consideration for sure.

[@sergeantspeed5941]

ChillCosmos an H pipe will sound best but an x pipe Will make the most of your exhaust

True duals dont have an X-H pipe, they never touch, independent exhaust pipes
