i don't know if you like it loud in the cab or not. i ran mine just past the axle and then put a down turn in right after the axle so its hidden because its so ugly i also had to do a custom hanger job around that cherry bomb

right now i like the sound. It doesn't sound like some ridiculous ricer it just sounds like a v8 and has more of a grumble to it and its not to much noise in the cab so i can still hear my music. not to mention i already have a lot of road noise from the tires. I'm happy with it

i just found out that the cherry bomb muffler is more than likely illegal here,so my second choice is the flowmaster muffler instead i guess?

i have a thrust glasspackon mine. Well i did until i wanted to claim a parking spot being guarded by a frozen snow mound today.
I had mine dumped under the cab. You could look straight down in between the cab and bed and just see the end of the muffler.
I didn't think it was that loud, or that it sounded good. But i let a buddy drive it out to lunch and i could hear him coming back, and it is louder then i thought, and sounded rather decent.
So... try it out, they are cheap anyways

check out my thread, my set-up is more on the quiet side though. . . cherry bomb or flowmaster is going to be louder, but i drive too much to listen to exhaust sounds, i have xm radio with a $2000.00 stereo system LOL

well i got my cherry bomb turbo on...AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it sound soo good and its not that loud like every one thinks it has that throaty sound when you step on the gas and doesnt droan in the cab and the total cost with install was $51.00 ill try to put up a sond clip ASAP man i love it soo much i was scared it would sound like a civic or something but it doesnt but i wouldnt suggest it for any 2L rangers cause it would sound sh** but on 3L or 4L it would be perfect and it wouldnt cost an arm and a leg!
