Mufflers

[Nathan123]

Has anyone run a cherrybomb glasspack on a stock 2.9 bronco II? What did it sound like? What other throaty sounding mufflers are good with a BII? This is the glasspack I'm lookin at http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsProduct.jsp?itemIdentifier=404491_32594_12187_&skuDescription=Cherrybomb-Glasspack+/+Muffler&brandName=Cherrybomb-Glasspack&displayName=Muffler&categoryNValue=&sortType=&store=1864&isSearchByPartNumber=&fromWhere=&fromString=&counter=5&itemId=441-0&navValue=16100441&filterByKeyWord=&productId=404491&searchText=&categoryDisplayName=Exhaust&parentId=61-0

i ran a cherry bomb

GARBAGE the drone was so bad i put my STOCK muffler back on...

i am now enjoying my silence...AND my truck runs ALOT better then with the glasspack ironically...

I have that one on my Ranger. It sounds ok, better around 25-3K, quiets out on the highway. I like it enough. Actually sounds a bit better than when I had no muffler.

Just remember to kerosene treat the inside before you put it on. Dump a 1/4 of heating oil down it, make sure to get it all around, and it gives it a bit more throat.

Okay, the glasspack sucks but what about a flowmaster 40 or 50 series?

YOU want a nices sound and it's not LOUD AT ALL ----PUT A SET OF SIDE PIPES ON IT-----I like them run a set on RANGER 1--THE 84 Ranger I built and now have put them on the 81 Ford van I drive---OLD SCHOOL LOOK ---

I ran a flowmaster supper 44 on a 2.9l ranger sounded real deep and throaty, than went to straight pipes for awhile, now have a magnaflow on it right now really like the way it sound nice and deep all through the rpm range

I have a glasspack on my ranger, it drives me nuts having to listen to it going down the road, of cousre I only have a 2.3 engine, but it still sounds bad, and not bad in a good way.

I didn't like the glass pack sound on the 2.9, I had the flowmaster 40 and loved it. but then ripped the 2.9 out and put the 4.0 in and the flowmaster sounded like crap.
i recommend the flowmaster on a 2.9 and straight for the 4.0 lol

I like. Might have to do that. How hot did those get? I showed the wife and now she is freaking out saying the kids (that we don't even have yet) will get burnt on them.

THEY have a heat sheild that is over the pipe---it is about a 1'' out from the pipe---it will get a little warm but it want get hot.

www.SpeedwayMotors.com jcwhitney.com---is where my set
came from.


thet come 60'' long------70'' long or 80'' what ever you need

 

[adsm08]

That's what I said.

Thanks for the info man.

 

[mini274]

Im gettin ready to try a thrush welded 2 chamber anyone tried those??

 

[ramoyer1]

I am gonna run duals with prolly flows or macs....Im not sure just yet.

 

[predator]

i cant wait to hear what my explorer sounds like when its done, pacesetter headers,no cats and a flowmaster super 44...should be pretty sweet

 

[Explosive]

I have a flowmaster 40 on mine with no tailpipe and it actually sounds pretty good. Aside from the massive exhaust leak at the manifold.

Oh, and the rattle is the muffler on the frame, I wedged it up in there for ground clearance so it's tucked into the frame rail. The 2.9 is coming out soon for a 4.0L and a lift anyways.

And this was before I put the MT's on it

I have an '85 with a 2.8L, It has headers, no cat, a flowmaster and 2 1/2 inch pipe. It sounds nice, has a little rumble when idling, just enough to raise and eye brow. At cruising speeds it is almost as quiet as stock but when I get on it when accelerating it sounds good and turns heads!!

 

[Little_blue_B2]

^ I also have a 85' with the 2.8 but we put a cherry bomb turbo muffler on it and it sounds great. Nobody will ever confuse it for a race truck but it has a nice rumble letting you know somethings different...

 

[Nathan123]

so it seems like everyone likes/doesn't have a problem with the flowmaster 40 series, right?
