Hi, I have a 1983 GMC Sierra classic with 74,000 original mi on it and my cherry bomb mufflers just gave out... blew a hole out the bottom of ione side and the passenger side is cracked real bad. Anyhow I really like the sound and the performance of the Cherry bomb exhaust but was considering going with magflow or something that would be similar to what I had. It has a 305 motor with headers, Edelbrock RPM performer carburetor ,shift kit ...other than that it's pretty much stock just looking for something solid with a little bit of rumble thanks in advance for advice

Maybe not. They want something that sounds the same as before. Not asking for opinions on what sounds "best".

Ah, who am I kidding. Yeah, this is still going to be a rabbit hole lol.

Which kind of Cherry Bomb mufflers are currently installed? They offer a few models. Or are they not actual "Cherry Bomb" brand, and just some random, red painted glass pack mufflers?

Youtube is your friend. Sound is so subjective, we can recommend all day but you need to figure out what you like. Just keep in mind, glass packs all typically sound similar and chambered mufflers resonate/drone.

If you like the sound/performance why not just get the same?
