Cherry Bomb - Vortex!

[VehiGAZ]

according to the muffler guy, the FlowMaster 50 series is pretty quiet... almost like stock with a little bit of a "throat" to it.

I can tell you that this claim is either ignorant or a straight-out lie...

I put a 2.5" in/out Flowmaster Delta 50 on my VX and it is brutally loud. 200 yds down the road, I would have brought it back to the shop for them to yank it out again if I hadn't had to drive to PA for a business trip that evening. It has since mellowed out slightly, but it's still extremely loud and sometimes pretty harsh sounding.

On the other hand, I found that it improved off-the-line acceleration noticeably, and it certainly let the S/C breath easier at the top end of the rev range.

Hearing this nice recommendation for the CB Vortex, I might give it a try.

Just to add to this old topic, the cherry bomb glass pack (same length as stock muffler) is very nice sounding. I put one on this afternoon and LOVE IT!

Did you go with the Vortex model or the standard straight glasspack (red) pipe?

glass pack. I was trying to budget cause I got a vacation in a couple weeks. I think the glass pack sounds a thousand times better than I thought it would.

Agreed glasspacks are what i have on my VX and its just a throaty pissed off bumble bee noise but i like the way it sounds. It kinda reminds me of a toyota supra when your getting down on it

Yeah I get that sound some too. Nice sound for a v6 comparing to a 4cyl and v8 it's a smooth middle range.
