My car is running cherry bombs, they have been fun for a while but I'm now thinking about toning it down a bit, I can do the pipework so its just the boxes I need. Would be nice just to use generic oval boxes, I'm sure that would be good (As suggested by Peter) so the question is what can you guys recommend from my local motor factors? Still need something that sound good, not stock.

I had cherry bombs on my 65 and they got a bit harsh after a few years. I have now fitted these

Although mail order they were very quick delivery and fitted in place of the cherry's. just had to cut a short length of pipe out as the Smithy's are longer. They are more sophisticated sounding but still a nice note. Local motor factors stuff will rot out after a couple of years.Allan

Interesting thread. I am trying to do the opposite and make the coupe have more of a growl, and would welcome thoughts about the best way to do this. What sort of sound do your cherry bombs give as at the moment I seem to have stock style twin pipes and silencers...... Many thanks Marcsigpic

Ah maybe we can swap cars :-)
I wan't the car to be sort of loud but the cherry bombs are OTT I say cherry bombs as they are that shape but not sure exactly what they are. I'm thinking something between cherry and stock but cant seem to get someone to recommend anything.
So I take it the stock boxes are very quite?

It's been interesting reading other people's experiences about trying to get the cars quieter for cruising as mine is lovely and I'm beginning to wonder whether I'll end up ruining that.
At the moment the car sounds great on the driveway, as in its chunkier than anything modern around it, however I still think its quieter than people's expectations of a V8 4.7 litre..... I don't want to end up sounding naff.
I'll keep researching.....sigpic

IMHO opinion. Nothing beats flowmasters...When a car comes in with them I know the exhaust note is something I don't have to worry aboutPlease visit our Classic Mustang for sale site: www.classicamericancarsales.co.uk

Originally posted by DanTheMan View PostI have old cherry bombs and they are very loud, it's possible that all the glass fibre packing has slowly disintegrated over time, I'm considering flowmaster 40's but I do get loads of nice comments so I'm in no hurry to change.Allan

I will be changing my exhaust system soon - have a 66 302 coupe and going from cherry bombs (no cross over in middle) to a flow master system, H cross over with American thunder muffler. Already have exhaust but doing a lot of front end rebuild also to suspension etc, so once I get garage on board and the work started there would be a set of cherry bombs available. Adam
