Has anyone run a cherrybomb glasspack on a stock 2.9 bronco II? What did it sound like? What other throaty sounding mufflers are good with a BII? This is the glasspack I'm lookin at http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsProduct.jsp?itemIdentifier=404491_32594_12187_&skuDescription=Cherrybomb-Glasspack+/+Muffler&brandName=Cherrybomb-Glasspack&displayName=Muffler&categoryNValue=&sortType=&store=1864&isSearchByPartNumber=&fromWhere=&fromString=&counter=5&itemId=441-0&navValue=16100441&filterByKeyWord=&productId=404491&searchText=&categoryDisplayName=Exhaust&parentId=61-0

I have that one on my Ranger. It sounds ok, better around 25-3K, quiets out on the highway. I like it enough. Actually sounds a bit better than when I had no muffler.

Just remember to kerosene treat the inside before you put it on. Dump a 1/4 of heating oil down it, make sure to get it all around, and it gives it a bit more throat.

Okay, the glasspack sucks but what about a flowmaster 40 or 50 series?

I have a glasspack on my ranger, it drives me nuts having to listen to it going down the road, of cousre I only have a 2.3 engine, but it still sounds bad, and not bad in a good way.

I didn't like the glass pack sound on the 2.9, I had the flowmaster 40 and loved it. but then ripped the 2.9 out and put the 4.0 in and the flowmaster sounded like crap.
i recommend the flowmaster on a 2.9 and straight for the 4.0 lol

I like. Might have to do that. How hot did those get? I showed the wife and now she is freaking out saying the kids (that we don't even have yet) will get burnt on them.
