Cherry Bomb on a YJ

Hi all,

Looks like my muffler is about shot, so I figure I'll replace it before it falls off. I was thinking about putting on a cherry bomb, since they are cheap, sound nice and look at though they wouldn't get hung up on too much on the trail. Can anyone tell me a little bit about the muffler and/or the install? I believe the exhaust for the 4.0L is 2.25"; is there a 2.25 inch cherry bomb available? What about the length: I've heard that there are different lengths, and given overall shortness of a YJ I wonder if I have to take this into consideration.

Thanks for any help, RAC

CBs are glasspacks, had them on the old truck. All I can say for sure is expect a lot more noise and I prefer the Gibson.

Have you thought of asking a muffler guy these questions?

YOu probably have a 2" system, not a 2.25". Yes, bombs come in different lenghts, but they are not very quiet, even if you get the longest one. I have a muffler that fits very high above the frame rails. I have managed to scrape it some, but I would never suggest that it would get hung up enough to stop me. If the muffler can hold you up, you have some pretty serious issues that need to be resolved.

Get a low restriction muffler that is also quiet. You will be happier in the long run.
