Default I Know I Shouldn't

but what the heck. I'm going to put a pair of cherrybomb glasspacks on my 81. It needs new mufflers and I really don't have very much money right now so these should hold up for a year or two. They are only $24.00 each. Plus, I like the sound.

Thanks for all the replys, I feel better about doing this now. I thought things were supposed to get easier when you got old. Well, I just turned 60 and lost my job last year. Plant moved to China. Found a new job for $5.75 an hour less, have to drive 120 miles a day to get to work now. Got a daughter starting college in September and my older daughter just seperated from her husband and moved BACK IN. So, glasspacks are all I can afford now. Thanks again.

Hehehe...I didn't know they still made Cherry Bombs!!! Be advised...if you have headers the bombs won't last long. They use fiberglass packing and it will blow out with headers. I had Cherry Bombs on a 1969 Mustang with headers and they got louder and louder the older they got.
Maybe mellowing with age?
