Ok so my Civic's muffler is rattling and I am looking to order a replacement. The muffler is 2.25" Cheery Bomb 13" long but looking at Summit it could be either a Cherry Bomb Pro which is a wing plate style or a Cherry Bomb Turbo. So is there much difference in they way the sound or hold up in general?

Go with the basic Walker/Thrush(same thing) turbo muffler, they don't have packing to blow out and sound nice. I hate the sound the blowmaster style "mufflers" make.

Your rattling muffler might be fixed with new muffler bearings.

I put a cheap Thrush on my CRX and liked it.

Cherry bomb turbo, and most turbo mufflers have no packing or fiberglass in them. They are an OK, and very inexpensive performance muffler. Not sure how the wing style muffler will sound on a Civic, but after listening to a lot of YT clips, I put one on my 4 cylinder truck, and it sounds great. EVERYBODY compliments me on the sound.

It already has a Cherry Bomb on it. I just can't figure out which one of the two is actually on the car. I'll go to youtube and look to see if I can find a Civic with one of each.

Actually, it was in response to a post that has since been deleted.

i think the Turbo mufflers have an oval case that is crimped together, and the baffled styled is a more square case that is welded- sometimes they make them out of diamond plate to make them extra racey..
