    Catalyc....Noise

    Hey I have a cherry bomb muffler on my cb7......I am getting a high flow catalyc coverter.....my question is, will the catalyc converter reduce the noise from my cherry bomb?

    well the cherry bomb muffler/can is what makes it LOUD, the absence of a cat is what would make it raspy. so a stock cat would help the most, with a high flow cat being louder. a test pipe (straight empty pipe, which many ebay "high flow cat"s are) will be even louder.

      well my cherry bomb is way too loud, so I thought by getting a high flow cat would reduce it but i guess not.......do you know of any muffle that is decent is sound meaning not too quiet and not too loud.

        well a resonator or glasspack will make it quieter, I had just installed a magnaflow muffler on my car and it was loud, I then added an 18" glasspack...the ones w/ the little fins inside, and it made it a lot more tolerable on the highway.....cost was 72 installed.

          Hello,

          Check out the Exhaust Setup sticky thread. I saw some clips on youtube with exhaust setups and sound recordings.

              glasspack will sound better, resonators don't do too much if you dont have at least an 18 inch one.


              I will buy your old catalytic converter off of you for 60 dollars if you pay for shipping.

                I don't have an a catalytic coverter....I was going to get a high flow cat to reduce the noise but its going to do the opposite.

                    I'd like to know also...never really heard of glasspacks. Do they reduce hp at all? Because my magna is way too loud.

                      pep boys they are 20 bucks the big red cherry bomb muffler it actually sounds amazing.



                      run a glasspack with your muffler if its too loud. the decibel will be reduced a bit but mostly all rasp and high pitched noise will be deleted.

                        Thats the cherrybomb I have. I bought it for $20. Currently I have it with a tip. On my old engine which was f22a, it sounded great but now since I did my swap to h22a its really loud.

                          well keep it, because its better then a resonator

                          then look for a BIG muffler, a high flowing one of course, the bigger the muffler, the better the sound will be. you want a good exhaust size, 2.5 in 2.5 out.

                          try a magnaflow or look for a muffler from any stock high performance car to give it a nice mellow oem sound. im not a fan of loud exhaust when it sounds like a lawnmower.
