Hey everyone, I just joined this site so be patient with me. First off, this is an awesomely informative site! I've spent the past three days just reading old posts. And it paid off pretty well. About my car: I have a 1989 Ford Mustang Notchback with a 2.3L N/A. I had it painted sonic blue last fall, and also added a fiberglass cowl hood and a spoiler. I also got new chrome cobras this spring and am so happy with them. Now for the question; I've been reading alot on here about Cherry Bomb glasspacks and decided that I wanted one because I could really use a new one (still have stock muffler). I am wondering which size would fit my stock exaust, if any at all. I have absolutley no skills with exhaust, so please be patient with me, as I'm pretty embarrased. Would I have to have someone redo my exhaust for it to fit? Or could I do it myself with no modifications? Thanks, and if this doesn't make sense just ask me and I'll try to clarify it!

i think 2.5" not sure go to ur local pep boys or autoparts store and ask for a cherry bomb for ur yr of mustang not sure just suggestions. welcome to the site
The easiest way to do this, and possibly the cheapest if you don't know anything about exhaust systems and haven't dealt with 20-year old exhaust pipe before, would be to find an independently-owned muffler shop in your area to do the job for you. Most independents I've dealt with over the years would still do the work if you brought your own muffler, so I'd measure your tailpipe (should be 1 7/8", 2" or 2 1/4") and buy a glasspack to fit that pipe (the longer the glasspack, the quieter the exhaust, they're usually sold in lengths of 18"-28") None will be a perfect fit because the factory muffler was an offset muffler, but your local muffler shop can either bend a piece of pipe, or install different hangers, etc. to make it all fit right.

No problem, I've fabricated my own exhaust systems before, and done simple muffler installs several times, but there are still times I take the project to a professional when it comes to exhaust work, especially if complex bends and/or custom hangers may be involved.
