How to Choose a Muffler
A muffler, also known as a silencer, is a unit used in the exhaust system to reduce the amount of noise derived from the exhaust pipe of your trucks internal combustion engine. Without this component, vehicles would emit a lot of noise, which would result in sonic pollution.
Here, we have compiled a guide to help you select a quality Cherrybomb muffler for your automotive.
What are the different types of Cherrybomb mufflers?
Depending on the model you select, your vehicles noise level can be anything between a low growl and a thunderous roar. The ideal muffler should be able to deliver an average rumble sound.
The three main muffler styles are:
- Chambered - They reduce exhaust sound by providing a throaty emission sound. These types are ideal for street and muscle vehicles. This design reduces back pressure and maximizes horsepower.
- Turbo - Designed in an S-shaped pattern, this design allows gasses to pass through more tubing resulting in quieter emission. For increased muffling, Cherrybomb incorporates a sound deadening material into the design. This type is ideal for regular street use.
- Straight-through - Also known as glasspacks, this design offers the maximum flow and horsepower. The model has straight perforated pipes wrapped in sound absorbing materials such as fiberglass. These mufflers are ideal for racing and a favorite among custom car builders.
What is the ideal type of construction?
Mufflers are constructed from durable and robust materials to handle the high-pressure exhaust gasses, resist corrosion, and absorb impact from road debris. Cherry Bomb is known for its Glasspack mufflers. These components have:
- An outer shell
- An inner case
- Insulated layer in between
The Chevy bomb extreme muffler is made very well with its body constructed of aluminized steel. Cherrybomb glasspack and turbo mufflers are all developed to deliver extreme performance while reducing emissions. The two most popular materials used are:
- Aluminized steel
- Stainless steel
What other factors do I need to consider?
There are a few things you need to first inquire about your existing exhaust system such as:
- Single/Dual exhaust system - Understanding this will help you determine the number of inlets your muffler needs. A single system will require a single channel while a dual system needs a dual inlet muffler.
- Exhaust pipe diameter - The inlets and outlets you purchase need to match those of your existing exhaust diameter.
- Room available for the muffler - The outside dimensions of your performance muffler should allow for ample room under the car. The overall length will allow for easy installation and proper clamping. This will, in turn, increase your automotives performance.
