cherrybomb
i always wanted to get that older rougher sound out of my trucks so someone told me the easiest and cheapest way would be to through in a cherry bomb glass pack so i went and found one at canadian tire for about $20 now i need to install it so i went to my local custom shop and when i told the guy i want you to put this on he gave me a warning that it would chew away at my gas mileage, and that if i wanted to put one on i should also get a magnaflow system or something like that is this true or is it just there way of trying to get me to spend more money. if it does eat more gas are we talking a drastic amount or reasonable for the outcome.

his reasoning behind it was it would change how the muffler performs i don't quite remember what the exact name for it is so forgive my stupidity but he said it would drastically change the back pressure so it would take more gas. please correct me if wrong I'm here to learn. I'm also adding this in now is there a particular area i should tell him to install it or should i just let him have at it.

ya its not so much the gas mileage i'm after i can live with it till i buy my bigger truck I'm just after sound i i know a cherrybomb would be a good starting point till i can afford a magnaflow or flowmaster. so what else could i do on the cheap side to make it sound better i've seen a few around town with dual straight pipe out the back does this add anything.

I agree that the exhaust shop is feeding you some lies. The cherry bomb muffler will have less back pressure than your stock muffler, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Cherry bombs are a cheap exhaust but they can carry a pretty decent tone to them, although its not for everyone. If you already bought the muffler insist the shop just install the muffler. That shouldn't cost much and you can see how you like it.
