vortex cherrybomb
I have a stock exhaust, and need a quick fix for power and sound. I'll do one of four things to my ehaust this summer:
1. ravin muffler ($270 w/ parts and labor)
2. true dual (probably too costly)
3. straight pipes (probably about $200)
4. Vortex cherrybomb (unless you disagree)
Please let me know if a vortex is worth my time or if i should choose something else (cost is very very important)
Thank you for your help

I think you should seriously consider going with true dual exhuast. If emissions is a problem in your area then run the true duals with one cat on each pipe.Atleast make believe cats(fakies).

I have a vortex cherrybomb on my T/A and it sounded real nice with the stock cat and manifolds...yesterday I got finished putting a catco and slp headders on and it sounds like CRAP...now I have to look around for another muffler...If you are planning any mods to exhaust in the future I would not go with the vortex
