Hi again everyone. What muffler would be better?FlowTech Raptor, or Cherry Bomb Turbo. Please do not offer other suggestions for mufflers just tell me what you think is better? Louder? Gives you more performance? It is going on a 3.1L V-6. This will just be a temporary muffler for now. Give me your thoughts on each one. Thanks!!

I have 2 flowtech raptor on my 1974 ford f-100 and find them great for the price.
They sound great too when you press the pedal hard and not too loud when cruising. So they dont bring too much police attention on me. I have the 2-1/2" version also with flowtech headers on a dual exhaust 302. My engine rev a little higher with them on too much less restriction.

Leave it stock, I hear enough racket going by my house as it is. :p
I would have to say Flowtech Raptor. The cherry bombs IMO are noise makers and don't bring any performance.

Its not gonna be that loud, trust me. If its over-loud its going back.
With the 3.1L v6 it should sound very good! SWRules And are quite cheap. I paid mine around 35 or 40 $ each at canadian tire.

Sweeeeet. I cant wait to put it on. I'm also getting mine at Canadian Tire for $40. I also have to buy a tip so that the exhaust comes out the back of the car because this new muffler is a little shorter than my old one. Oh well i'll make it work! :D BTW: I will be posting before and after pics.

do you buy a bigger than stock (pipe diameter)? Also I should not tell you this but by the way you could empty the catalytic converter for less restriction and better sound too... :sly: :hallo1:

LOL. Thanks but i think i will leave it at the muffler. The pipe on the car is less that 2inch's in diameter, so the muffler i am getting is going to have a 2inch in/out let.
