Cherry Bomb
In a post earlier this evening Injencivic asked about using a glasspack as a resonator and it got me thinking (possibly a dumb idea, but thought I would ask anyway). How do you guys think it would sound if we left the stock pipe and resonator alone and just replaced the muffler itself with a cherry bomb glasspack? Just curious, possibly the whitetrash in me[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] wanting to make my car rumble, but I doubt a stock Civic can rumble by just replacing the muffler.

Rep Power: 0 It'll sound really really bad. Ever hear those buzzy civics on the streets? Basically they have the small diameter stock piping and resonator with a straight through muffler. A recipe for crappy sounding disaster.

Rep Power: 0 Cherry Bombs are some of the worst flowing packs around. They'll cramp you flow almost as much as that spaghetti exhaust pipe Honda puts on stock. Get a 2 1/4 exhaust with a good straight through muffler (Borla) and you'll get that low rumble you're looking for.
I had a chevy lumina before my civic and i put a glass packed cherry bomb on it and it claimed to maximize hp. I did feel a difference in throttle response, and it sounded ok at first. Then after a few months it sounded like crap. Don't do it.
