@@tylermontgomery24 definitely aha. and hey bro do you happen to have any knowledge in replacing the steering box or radiators in these 88s? have no idea what aftermarket parts to look for those are first on my list forsure. thanks bro

[@tylermontgomery24]

I’ve only done the radiator on mine, and got it from a buddy, wasn’t too hard to install

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

When I hear those glass packs, I always think to myself... If you ran two of them... I feel like it would sound right. Just run one right after the other

[@tylermontgomery24]

I agree, actually I took it off and switched to the Flowmaster 40 muffler! I’m gonna try and get a vid tomorrow!

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

@@tylermontgomery24 wonder what it would sound like if you just took a glass pack , bend 180° , a second one , bend 180°.

Nice!

Is this a stock 2.9l v6 nothing done to it? No exhaust work except for muffler etc?

[@tylermontgomery24]

Yep other than the K&N intake, it just has the cherry bomb!

Do you still have the cats

[@tylermontgomery24]

Yes I do

[@hectorruiz5210]

By any chance does this ranger have two gas tanks?

[@tylermontgomery24]

No it only has one tank

[@fjrjrjjrj7291]

Is the cherry bomb noticeably quieter than straight pipe?

[@tylermontgomery24]

Not exactly quieter, just more mellow in certain gears! I guess it did quiet down a little when I added more pipe after it! Ha

[@danielsee1]

So Yeah.

[@backdr10c60]

Also exactly which cherry bomb muffler is this?

[@tylermontgomery24]

@@tylermontgomery24 thanks!

[@backdr10c60]

Do you have any backpressure or any sort of issues with the cherry bomb on the ranger?

[@tylermontgomery24]

It has a little more throttle response compared to the straight pipe.
