Going cheap, but good sound. Cherry bomb extreme, Cherry bomb Glasspack, or Cherry bomb vortex? My engine is the stock 350, so what would sound the best, and most aggressive? thank you

Pipe size and personal taste will affect it. Basic glasspacks will give it a classic sound, but it's a less popular sound now.

Here's a couple videos of my single 3" with a CAT and single Glasspack 26" long. 30" overall with flanges. The longer the glasspack the more quiet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIGYJXJmsLo

If you're only looking at Cherry Bomb, I would go with the extreme muffler.

I personally hate the way glasspacks sound.

I bought summit turbo mufflers, I love how they sound. Nice and low, not obnoxiously loud, but sounds mean when you rev. They're about $30 and you can look from one outlet to the other so you know it's not very restrictive. Also how much do you plan to use the truck? If it's a daily driver you may not wanna go to loud with your exhaust. Can't listen to music or talk with your girlfriend if your truck is screaming like a banshee from hell. Also I think it's good to be able to hear all the various noises your truck makes, kinda hard to catch a ticking lifter if your truck is to loud. But ultimately up to you, I had glass packs on my truck for awhile, first I thought they were awesome, then I changed my mind.

When I had my camaro it had glass packs on it. Over time they started getting loud, not popping/backfiring, just louder. So I spent $20 on another set and I grinned ear to ear thinking wow what a difference. I don't remember them being huge, but not small. Maybe 18"?

Hmm....what would happen if you put 2 in series? Same effect as one long one I guess.
