I've had the header flange mount Cherry Bomb mufflers on my car for 10 years. I'd like to replace them with the same thing. Are Cherry Bomb and Thrush the same thing? I don't see Cherry Bomb mufflers any more.

I am not sure if they are the same but if you look
at my link in my sig I have a couple pics of some
Thrush's on one of my engines on my motor stand.
It's in the Engine Folder.

All the local Schucks (Kragen/Checker) stores around me carry them... "Cherry Bomb" brand- various lengths and sizes and they even have the header mount ones.

are you talking about the red tube Thrush Glass Packs? i'm pretty sure they're the same thing as cherry bombs from back in the day.

FYI, the red bodied W/D/T glasspacks, (they used to be bright blue), have a perforated center tube and if memory serves me right the old Cherry-Bomb's have saw cut or pressed louvers in the center tube that choke the flow down!

But it's been years since I held a Cherry-Bomb up and looked through it..

Anyway, I love them old "cop-calling" glasspacks whichever ones they are!!

Ilooked at SS70SS's pictures and the cherry bombs I have look exactly like his Thrush color and all. I'm not sure about the inside though. As far as Discount auto goes all of them around here have closed down years ago, boy do I miss them.
