...check out the new pipes...got them off another 77 SS I aquired a few weeks back. I really like the sound of this pipe. I was poking around on ebay and found a pipe simular to this and the seller claimed it was a "glass pack". I don't know alot about exhaust, but I've heard of glass pack exhausts for automobiles, but never a bike. Can anyone confirm that this pipe is in fact a glass pack?

Mark I seem to remember seeing one on here recently just in the background of a photo.

As I recall, back when I put Chery Bomb's on my "65 Chevelle, C.B.'s were considered glass packs. To me, it looks like somebody stuck one on a motorcycle header.

That is a glass pack, cherry bomb is the most common brand, maybe the only brand come to think of it. In the past there was a brand called purple horneys

I wonder if you are referring to a picture I posted as a joke; a 1974 CB550 with a Cherry Bomb attached?

I still have the Cherry BOmb if someone wants it for shipping cost, email me. It didn't fit my car.
peace

...its a good sounding pipe guys...somebody should jump on that...

jotor · « **Reply #6 on:** December 31, 2005, 07:48:11 PM »

They sell them at Checker Auto for about ten bucks. A friend of mine put one on a modern Enfield--didn't sound too bad.

Back in the day the only glass pack to have was a "Smitty".

yep, cherry bombs are a brand of glass packs. i have em on my car. yours is just a car one stuck on a header like was already stated.

purple hornies are still made by flowtech. they also have another line called red hots. theyare louvered core which is somewhat less desireable as opposed to perforated core. smithys and thrush also still make glass packs.

What's your header diameter, I'd like to see if that would fit a bike of mine.

I can't hear it but the color goes well with your bike

Lumbee · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2005, 09:11:29 PM »

..thanx sea, I got lucky with the color, just happened to match the cover of my bike. So this is a automotive muffler? And here I was thinking I had something special.

...I sitll like the sound and look of it though...

Japbikemike · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2005, 10:26:49 PM »

Yes it's an automotive muffler....I always reversed them so the louvers didn't scoop up the exhaust. Great tone.
Ultra cool look on your bike!!!!
I'll have to post a pic of the Mooneyes foot accellerater pedal I fab'd onto my brake pedal.

I had nasty rusted out glasspacks on my 550 when I bought it. Damn that bike sounded mean. Now I have a 4-1 and it sounds good, but I thought it was too quiet at first. If I could, I would go back to the dual glasspack sound, more fitting for a cafe racer too, prolly.

74cb750 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2006, 09:09:54 AM »

I am looking for a good 4 into 1 for my cb550 because the one I have currently sounds, like, sissy bike. Hardly can hear it.
I want something that says, "I have arrived!"
what do you all suggest?
PS. I still have the 4 into 4's but don't like the sound, too quiet.

Back in the day their was a Royal Scott it was gold and a little bit louder than a Thrush i'm not a old guy but i know some. Their are Red Hot's too.

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2006, 08:58:43 AM »

The purple horneys have been around 4ever. I remember it was the thing to do in highschool to take
whatever car you had , performance or not , and hack off the stock muffler and put a purple horney on it.

Never thought of running them on a CB. Prob. would sound pretty wicked. Once my stock 4 into 2 rots away , I might
try a pair...

Gibson · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2006, 06:49:25 PM »

I'm going to put 2 Cherry Bomb's on my 350/4 but i just have header's think a auto part's store would have the 2 into 1 adapter that would fit the stock header's?

mrblasty · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2006, 07:04:27 PM »

something else to look at is the flow master circle track bullet mufflers, flowmaster makes a wicked sounding muffler.
