Seriously though, loud mufflers on tiny engine don't sound very good IMO. No Civic, 22RE or even 3VZE is going to sound as nice as a Z28 Camaro. Furthermore, Civic or Camaro, I don't want to hear racing up my street. Its just noise pollution.

i agree. my truck would never have a fart can on it. my flowmaster sounds nothing like the lil hondas that run around my town with huge fart cans on them!

What you dont believe me, I would personally never do the "water in the tailpipe trick." But, I have a lot of redneck friends thats how I know that!!! But they do all have V8s FWIW.
But the flowmaster-spintech debate is true. (at least I think it is spintech, its the muffler that you can turn a bolt and the reflectors on the inside move), but actually have you ever seen the inside of a flowmaster, you cant honestly tell me that all of that restriction will actually flow good, yeah they sound good, but you lose power at the expense of it.
Now the muffler that you can adjust the insides actually lets you tune the amount of backpressure you need, which is good for forced induction. Honestly you wouldnt notice the difference in the seat of the pants, but the dyno sheet would prove otherwise.

Got a Flowmaster 40 Series coming off of a Pacesetter header, and mine gives a nice crackle to it on deceleration, but without the annoying loudness of a glasspack. Thought the Flowmaster made my truck sound great. The old school way my dad told me years ago to break up a glasspack, was go out and get it good and hot, the go home park vehicle slightly facing up hill, the shove a garden hose up to the muffler, and when the cold water hits it, it'll break up and come out. Have never had a Cherry bomb though, so couldn't say. I always thought they were for old 50's greaser hot rods and Ford hi boys.

fiber glass requires a lot of heat to burn. I dont think gas alone will provide the necessary heat

to achive the popping sound, make sure your air suction system is hooked up and operating properly.
glass packs are directional. there are louvers all pointed the same way. if you run them they way they are desinged, which is so the open side of the louvers point to your engine, it will absorb more sound. if you flip it around, it will be much louder.
what is the point of removing the fiberglass packing? do you think that the pipe is actually filled with glass like window glass? just run strait pipes. I love a straight pipe sound.
I have used many brands of glass packs over the years.
thrush installed backwards gives the loudest note. but even installed backwards, the packing blows out the quickest and becomes louder.
purple hornies have a very smooth quiet sound.
cherry bomb is mild and low when installed correctly.

damn, this thread is turning into a drama. general hos... wait... new name... general autoshop. or maybe yotatech 90210? i hate those ricers with the fart cans. but to the guy here talkin crap bout everyone, dude leave the drama at school. we dont need it here. say, evolta, shouldnt this be in your lounge? lol. my truck has the stock muffler, cat, and exhaust mani, but it still has a kind of rumble at idle, when your next to the pipe. within the next few weeks ill be putting on a new exhaust system, with a hi flow cat and a flowmaster 40. will prove that flowmasters are better than glasspacks.

i hooked up with the whole grade 10 girls cheerleading team, all at once, last week alone just because of my cherry bomb exhaust note. not.
here's what you want to do: go down to your parts store, ask "could i get an OEM replacement muffler for my 22RE, please?" and they will hand you a large box with an muffler that sounds awesome.

Too big! A glasspack installed with stock sized pipes will result in a slightly louder tone than stock. Seriously, put one on the old ladys truck with a new stock tailpipe. Sounds a little louder, and a little better
