my dad asked me today if i wanted a cherry bomb exhaust his buddy gets good deal on them and i was wondering if it was worth putting on my car? suggestions if it is good what model of the cherry bomb should i get

 

budsjlm recently used one in place of his resonator and said it came out nice...search for his post(s)

 

If you get the CherryBombBrand "glasspack" muffler it will be loud if you replace the stock muffler with it.

 

i got a cherry bomb turbo muffler and installed it myself on my 98 sl2 dohc its great not too loud but not quiet its perfect i love it

 

Sounds like you made a good choice .....

 

Having pretty much done most of my performance modifications on a budget, I have found that by in large they do little for actually adding to a measurable increase in performance but generally make me happy.
My single biggest disappointment across the board is headers. By in large they have proven to be a huge waste of money accompanied by reliability and maintenance problems.
My favoritest is High Flow catalytic converters and H or X cross over pipes on dual exhausts. The H pipe mellows out the blatting that can come from duals on a V type engine.
On small in line engines to me a high flow catalytic converter and a turbo muffler of some kind generally will make me happy as to the end result. Also makes them smog legal which where I live is a requirement for the most part.

 

surprises me that the exhaust was not a huge improvement cause I looked at mine and if it's larger than 1.5 inches that's about all so I have debated headers and a cat but would not even consider a loud exhaust on such a turd of a car

 

please no cherrybombs....cheapens the Saturn brand image

 

quad, just use a stock redline exhaust. That's all you need for it.


You may as well use autozone brand parts then if youre going to cherry bomb it.

 

I hadn't thought of using a redline exhaust on a base model, good call(but where will she find one?)

I actually recommend a turbo muffler of some sort(Thrush, cherry bomb, etc), and the longest glass pack that you can find, as a resonator... If you stay away from name brands finding the stuff(like Flowmaster or MagnaFlow), you can generally get an exhaust built on the good side of a $200 bill, and it will sound good and be civil at idle and cruise...
