You'll tire of the drone while cruising, and the HP/TQ will drop...

No disrespect, OP, but..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Naww, man, just razzin' ya cuz Cherry Bomb muffs have been around since the '60s or so and are pretty much just built to make noise. A few of us hot rodders had 'em back in the day.

If you are serious about making power, you'll want either a large diameter single system (Tomei Xpreme) or a true dual exhaust like the Motordyne TDX2 or the Invidia Gemini....

...and the UpRev tune to go with it.

But yeah, Cherry Bomb. Snicker snicker.... again, not laffin' at you at all, just the thought of CB mufflers on a Z. Ehhhh, not s'much.

Cherry bombs are for 4x4 trucks that you wouldn't be upset if you roll it over and bring to the junk yard. Im pretty sure I had one on my 94 B2200 and it sounded like a pos truck... So it worked out fine. If nothing is wrong with your stock cat back your not going to improve on the sound much.. If you just want more noise remove the muffler and have a tailpipe made...
