I would actually like to know this as well. My muffler is screwed and I love the loud muscle sound. I wanna replace the cat with a cherry bomb and cut out the muffler and get some new exhaust tips.

Both of you need to check your states' inspection and emissions laws... In most states, you have to at least APPEAR to have a working catalytic converter or your car won't pass inspection. At worst, you could end up with a fine :eek: ...

I had mine like that for a while. It sounded good I though but smelled bad. As any car will do with no cat.
I liked it while I had it, so go for it! I might vave made an exhaust clip while it was like that, Ill take a look on my cpmputer..

if u run a muffler behind the glasspack it wont do much at all if anything, u gta get rid of ur muffler and run the cherrybomb, thats all i ever use, my 2.8 Z28 sounds lik a lil sbc, nice lopey idle loud rumble no wine, i have a 3.1 camari to but i got flowmasters on it

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

Where can i buy a "Cherry Bomb" CATalytic converter? id love to change mmine :D

My exhaust is.. blocked up. it spits "black liquid" out from running so rich. Nice rumble. i should post it, but its choking, too. :(

Link to glasspack R Cherry Bomb that will fit Camaro, leaving a (drilled out) :D and pipe replaced exhaust on?

EMISSIONS BE DAMNED! "APPEAR TO WORK" IS ALL THEY WILL GET! :D

Why the hell do people do this? The previous owner did it to my car I just don't get it! Just throw in a high flow cat! It costs maybe a tiny bit more, flow barely changes, and your car doesn't stink up the neighborhood!


Ha good one :lmao:

2.8 Z24 is what i ment, sorry typo, i have a 1989 Z24 with a 2.8 MPFI in it bored out a little with a mild cam, 2.5" off the y pipe into a high flow cat into a cherry bomb split into duals and out to the bumper, sounds mean for a v6, id have to say its different, never herd a v6 sound like mine

the 3.1 camaro on the other hand is just winey with the 80 series flowmaster and 2in pipes on it as of now, thats going to change wednesday i hope lol

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

as far as exhaust go, its your chpice really for what kinda sound u want, im going with flowmaster supper 44 myself on my 3.1 camaro,

and yea no bs the 2.8 does have a lopey idle and a rumble for a v6, doesnt resonate lik a v8 does tho, nothing sounds better then a v8 imo

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

That's what I thought you meant.

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

I'd like to see a high-flow cat(or any cat for that matter) that only costs "maybe a tiny bit more" than a glasspack. I paid $28+shipping for each of my glasspacks from Summit. I've never seen a cat that was within $70 of that price. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places??

I have no cats on my Camaro, pair of glasspacks in the stock muffler location, and I think it sounds great! My wife thinks its too loud though.:gocrazy:

I'm running a carb'd 350 and still working on fine tuning it and I've never had it "stink up the neighborhood" nor have any of my neighbors ever complained about any kind of exhaust smell from my Camaro. The noise yes, but nothing about any smells.

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

what im doing later this week on my 3.1 Rs is 2 1/4 of the manifold into a 2.5" high flor magnaflow cat, 2.5 out to a super 44 flowmaster behind teh rear then dual 2.5"chrome flowmaster tips, hope it sounds good, im worried, i dont want teh v6 whine,,, i have cherry bomb on my z24 and its gta b as good as u can get em to sound, but obnoxiously loud, i want my camaro a lil sneakier

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

IMO, Flowmasters don't belong on any engine with less than 8 cylinders, no matter whether they are the 40, Super 44, or 80 series. They all sound horrible. You're probably going to hate it and wish you hadn't spent the money on the Flowmaster. I still prefer the setup I had on mine with the Thrush version of the Cherry Bomb leading into a 90* pipe which fed a 2.5x17" (cut an inch off the end to even it out) tailpipe followed by the APC resonating tip. Also preferred the Thrush 24207 on my Grand Prix 3.1 (2" in and out, too long though as the whole muffler stuck out beyond the bumper).

Also, I believe that you paid too much for the "high flow" cat... More than likely, it's pretty much the same inside for $230 as my $100 cat...

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

Flowmasters dont belong on ANY engine, period. They are definitley not the "flow master" as I've seen tests saying they're more restrictive than a stock muffler...

Look up a thread called best V6 exhaust, or something like that. It's several pages long with lots of sound clips and info on different setups...

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

yea im starting to agree, i just have a supper 44 in my basement 2.5" in and out with dual outlets with 2.5" angle cut tips taht say flowmasters on the top of em, so, idk what to do with it, ugh i cant decide on exhaust

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

Believe the sound clip or not, but back when i first bought my 87 camaro for a project it had a 2.8 motor and i put a glass pack where the stock muffler was and cut overy thing else out and i was very pleased with the results. 2.8 sounds like an 8

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

Im goign to post my bone-butt-stock Camaro exhaust right now.. and we can talk about how it sounds, if yall like it, etc. its starting to sound throaty again, as all carbon is getitng removed.. :chevy:

This is bone exhaust, stock flow-stuff into stock cat, into stock pipe and stock muffler, likely the original one.

Re: Cherry Bomb on 3.1l
 

I bought my 92 Camaro with Flowmasters installed, although the cars has had a cam and all put in it, for people who don't know any better think that it's a V8 car.

Sounds pretty good to me.
