When it comes to classic performance products with a history, the list is certainly not hard to fill. From Cragar wheels blower to a Weiand 6-71, and Hurst shifters to Moon accessories, these products are still around because they have adapted with the times.

So it is for Cherry Bomb Exhaust once known for simple, fiberglass packed mufflers. The company, which underwent something of an evolution in 2006, has brought modern technology to bear on original and new products. The straight-through muffler design has expanded to six distinct products and the company now provides a wide range of cat backs, straight and X-pipes and exhaust accessories.

Modern materials and manufacturing processes lead the way, along with new and innovative designs, such as the Vortex muffler, which uses a new, patented flow divider design.

The Cherry Bomb people continue to take an aggressive approach to the market and have announced their 2011 Cherry Bomb Tour schedule. Check out the dates and locations. You’ll want to swing by, check out the sights and sounds, like their Camaro project car – one among many.
