Want to feel a difference in performance, get an exhaust system. Want to hear a difference in sound, get a muffler. Cherry Bomb’s sound like ass. just get like a plain magnaflow muffler if you need to replace it. ---

well I also need to do the piping as well . soo basically the hole new exhaust… I figure that it’ll be cheaper for me if I source the cat and muffler and then get someone to do the pipes cheaper or something. aiming for 2.5 pips for my turbo ---

well if you are on a budget you might be able to buy some knock-off canister/resonator and get something welded up from mild steel. The other option may be something like the megan racing exhaust. Full SS and cheap to boot. ---

^^^ I say that’s a much better option than a cherrybomb. Plus unless you have rusted out '81 Firebird the cherry bomb seems a little…well domestic :roll: ---

For a cheap muffler, I like this OBX dual for $57 Canadian + ship: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7966249427&category=33636](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7966249427&category=33636) I can pretty much guarantee the muffler would serve you well and sound good! Also, it’s not overly attention-grabbing, with dual 2" tips similar to stock. ---

Ughh, when i first bought my s13 it came with a cherry bomb as a muffler… held with coat hangers…If you dont care about the sound, grab it. it will be fine for your turbo… But god dang, there disgustingly loud and annoying I took mine off right away. ---

I think the cherry bomb mufflers are like the only mufflers available that can make your car sound like a honda civic that’s about to fall apart. ---

Grey Gandalf S14 still hasn’t called me for my muffler. Make me an offer, will let it go for cheap. It’s off of Mr. Skinny’s car, I bought it when I thought I’d keep the car n/a this summer, but I’ll be buying the N1 so I need cash. ---

Are you going to do the piping yourself? or have a shop do it? if so make sure you get a quote first, you might be surprised how much its gonna run you, even with a cheap ass muffler, in the end you might think to yourself, i might be a good idea to guy something a little better cause the rice might not be all that much more… Doesnt Bing have an exhaust for sale? should look into something like that… youre planning on going turbo? but looking at a cheap ass exhaust? wow dude work an extra week and go with quality, dont cheap out !! an extra $150 and youre looking at a descent exhaust system. think about it. ---

mmm… the problem is… this exhaust is for a **200sx** … it’s already **turboed…** and… I don’t think bing’s **S13** exhaust is going to work… I have the money… it’s just that I want this car to run… but sound a little better… and basically try to get rid of the lopping piping the 200sx has on the car… which I find is rediculous! and plus… there are ZEROOOOOOO after market exhaust for the S12… I checked w/ Preformance Improvments in scarborough… even talked to the manager which he even built up an 84 200sx w/ a SR20DE in it… lol even he said I have to go custom 😑 ---

Just by a Magnaflow or Flowmaster as was mentioned earlier and have a shop weld up a custom catback for you. It shouldn’t cost anymore than $500. ---

goodness of cherry bomb is low. However, the review shows goodness of real exhaust high.
