Well, I’m about to have custom 2.25" piping done on Friday at the muffler shop, and I was wondering if anyone has installed a cherry bomb (glasspack) in place of their stock resonator.
My 5Zigen muffler was really raspy back when I had it on my celica (with small resonator) so I’m hoping this cherry bomb would do the trick.
Need comments/opinions on this, whether its worth it? How will it sound? Any performance decrease due to the longer body as opposed to stock resonator ?
i dont know about a cherry bomb but i just put a 25" thrush glasspack on my car and it sounds really good. alittle more throatier then before and it got rid of the bees that i had before. but itshould work because it is a glass pack to. hope that helped

Yeah mine is a 25" glasspack too, cherry bomb is just the brand name i guess. Glad it worked well for you, hopefully mine will be as good.
yeah it should work fine for you
good luck with it

Did it on my old teg, the exhuast got quieter, and sounded much better. I sprayed the thing silver before i put on tho. Works fine…even better when you find on sale for like 12 buckss hahaha
UPDATE !!
I just had 2.25" piping done with the cherry bomb and the 5Zigen muffler, and it is really quiet now. It’s even quieter than when I had the muffler on stock piping.
BTW I’m running with DC Header and stock cat (for now).
How much of a sound difference will a free flowing cat make?
the cat will flow a lttle better but you pobably wont feel a big difference, but you might because of the header. i didnt feel a difference when i did mine but i dont have a header. your exhaust will probably be a little louder and sound a littel different by the end of the week becuase it has to break in. before i put on a glaspack as a resonator my exhaust was pretty loud, when i put it in it sounded almost stock, but a few days later it was a lot louder but not as loud as it was and sounds a lot better then before. how does it look, do you have any pics.

LOOK…their talking about me! 
yea i got a 31 inch thrush glass pack on my 2 1/4 piping with thermal muffler, when i first put it on it sounded stock just about, then few weeks later it broke in now its nice sounded, kinda loud at times, but not really
hey jets, that post answered my question… i dented the stock reson on my thermal catback and wanted to know how well a cherry bomb aka glass packed resonator would sound in place… i guess ill go with that but ill paint the resonator chrome to match the rest of my piping… any of you guys know whether the thermal catback’s reson is glass packed too? also, is the cherry bomb ss?
