Re: Flowmaster 40s vs glass packs/cherry bomb

A few years ago my Son and I picked up a 79 Custom Deluxe from an old farmer in our area.I happened to be going through a rough divorce at the time, and needless to say we were on a tight budget. Cam had two flat lobes, and was popping through the carb. I had a good used cam from a 283, and man did that ever "wake up" that old 350. We "custom" built an exhaust system (I have a Miller Mig). Picked up factory tail pipes from Walker for a 6.2 diesel square body. They had the true dual exhaust right from factory. Welded on a set of Cherry Bomb bottles. That truck sounded good. Real nice "Brrapp" when you revved it up, but not bad cruising on the highway.

Re: Flowmaster 40s vs glass packs/cherry bomb

Ok.. I have my glass packs picked out.

What about an X or H pipe?! I wonder how much a shop would charge to install that on my duals right now. Hmmmmm..

Re: Flowmaster 40s vs glass packs/cherry bomb

My 79 which is getting parted has Flowmasters and headman headers. on it.
My new 78 has cheery bombs and hooker headers.
The cherry bombs are louder and have a very distinct rap when you hit the gas.
Im sticking with the cherry bombs, reminds me when I was in high school and we were surrounded by real cars.

Sweet! That's what I'm going for, although I'm only 21 and never experienced that lol
