New exhaust w/ clip (sorry Taylor...)

First off, sorry Taylor but I ended up using a different muffler. The guy at the exhaust shop REALLY wanted to try something else, and I said, what the heck, I'll see how it sounds. He wanted to try a cherry bomb glasspack, and I have heard lots of people say they are a no-no on the Ranger. So I took a risk. Long story short, I'm happy with my decision.

the setup: cherry bomb glasspack in place of factory muffler. factory pipes all the way.

Go ahead and give me your opinions, bad or good, I like it and I guess that's what matters. I don't think it is too ricey, of course this is a v6 so it will never sound that great. But here is the video (it might as well be a sound clip, but there isn't anything to see anyway)

Nice, but way too loud for my liking. I'm probably the minority though.

$120 installed. Now that I think about it, maybe shoulda been less for what he had to do, but hey, I had planned for spending more in the budget anyway so it's all good.

those glass packs sound good for the first few month if your lucky... then everything inside melts or blows out and you have an empty can on your truck that sounds like crap
