looking at cherry bomb but what size are the pipes on the 3.0

 

I had them. Please don't. They are too loud and they don't sound very good.

 

eeekkkk loud is ok
but not too loud
mangaflow?

 

Magnaflow is good. Glasspacks were loud enough that I ditched them and went with a quieter muffler. I have Borla, but that's probably to quiet for you.

 

im looking down the road for duals , borla would be nice
which borla you have

 

2 and 1/4 inch is the stock pipe size. Those are good for a while and they rumble yes. here's a photo for ya:



It depends on which kind you get. I got the 2 inch and went about a foot behind the cab and it sounds really good.

 

x2! I too had one at one time....I didn't mind the loudness, but it just sounded like garbage on the Ranger. On my chevy on the other hand...sounded like it came straight out the 70's and I loved it. Gotta love 8 cylinders.

 

i really need to find a project truck

 

i got the thrush cherry bomb on my ranger dumped right after the cab and i still have it on my truck,i wish i didnt tho lol and i can say it has an ricer sound to it, go with a flowmaster 40 series

 

yeah sorry loooking for a non chambered muffler

 

why are you looking for a non chambered muffler??? x2 on the flow master

 

I would go magnaflow. Nice deep tone and decently loud.

 

ive heard chambered you lose what power you have ,

 

if you want a crappy sounding muffler go for a cherry bomb on a v6 and i've also heard that cherry bombs sound great on a v8 ,and i've never heard you loose power with a chambered muffler, besides if you want power sell your ranger and go for a sports car haha

 

 

It really sounded better than I thought it would, but once they burn out look out. I had Flowmaster and I have heard Magnaflow and those 2 are the best exhaust notes you'll ever hear on the ranger 3.0 V6. The Magnaflow is a bit more expensive because it's stainless steel and will outlast the flowmaster, but for the money what I have is about the cheapest you can go. However Cherrybomb does have other types of mufflers availible instead of the glasspack. And Thrush doesn't own cherrybomb either. Cherrybomb is independant and has been around since 1968. Their logo says disturbing the peace since 1968.

 

I want to try a Cherry Bomb Extreme(1 chamber muff) followed by a Glasspack tip. I've heard it on their own advertising vehicle(the black-n-white Charger) and it sounds wicked awesomely badass. But don't wanna try it on a 6cyl(glasspack sounds bad, 1 chambers sound bad)...only on my chevy.

 

dude the 40's sound sweet on a 3.0 do a single in dual out you wont regret it sounds almost like a smallblock when its cold idleing not reving tho almost every V6 ive ever heard with exaust sounds little ricy when its reving imo

 

lol omsj thats teriffic

 

if you wanna do glasspacks get the thrush glasspack 27 to 31 inches long it will sound better than what every one says im gonna be buttoning up my exaust in a couple weeks with a y pipe 2 glasspacks on the y pipe and out to dual pipes with 3 inch tips i have one pipe straight through with a 27 inch glasspack and it sounds awsome and isnt super loud and it has a sweet idle sound ill get vids once i finish duals in a couple weeks

 

he's probably already decided on something else by now..

X2 magnaflow. Glasspacks only sound awesome on V8's IMO.

Look before you post. I think he got it figured it out 2 years ago.

 

I had a 2" (factory pipe size for 98) glasspack on mine exiting in the stock location and it was just fine...quiet at idle and cruising speed but a little louder at about 3k RPM

i swapped the muffler for a 50 series flowmaster and they sounded almost identical....both with no cats

 

is 98 the last year for 2inch and then it's 2 1/4 after that? i need a new muffler and i wanted to verify the size. (remember I'm a 2.5L if that makes any difference)
