I'd go with the Flowmaster, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of flow-thru performance mufflers on 4 & 6 cylinder engines, but that's just me too - they just don't sound right to me and never have. My nephew has a Flowmaster setup on a V6 Ford Ranger...I don't care for the sound, but he loves it.

I do have Flowmaster mufflers on several of my rides though, both V8 powered. I have a SI/DO Flowmaster on my 2000 V8 Tundra that sounds mean, but with SI/DO it created its own x-pipe basically. Nice even pulses that growl, but is not obnoxious. I left the resonator in place on the Tundra too. Setup is going on 7 years old and is still in good shape, I don't think you can beat Flowmaster's quality - except with maybe Borla or Magnaflow. I have a Magnaflow setup on my Corvette that sounds awesome.

If you want to hear the differences, I think there are several YouTube videos out there that compare Vortex Cherry Bombs to some of the Flowmasters...I think I saw a link to a Vortex-equipped V6 4Runner listed on there in fact.
 
for me this is a no brainer......flowmasters all the way.....cherry bomb is not even in the same class as flows. Not sure about borla or magnaflow, but I had flows on both my nissan hardbody and my ford bronco...both vehicles sounded awesome....

Good Luck
 
I'm very happy with my Cherrybomb.

I really don't know why people are saying Flows for quality. They just seemed over priced to me.

Jason Burtman has been running his Cherrybomb for 4-5 years.

sorry bro that video didnt do your exhaust any justice. You got to crank that think....like redline it so we can hear what it really sounds like. Looks like you were only going to 3 rpm's. Is your 4R v6 or v8? Is that a flowmaster? If it is, what series 30, 40 or 50?

That's a Cherrybomb.

I agree that the video does not do it justice.
 
Its only 4.0 v6 . I have a new video later. This is over a year old i think, when i first got it installed, i drove by 2 motorcycle cops on this street they were catching speeders, i wAs at a yeild sign and i stop at the side of them. They just chilling, until i gave it lil gas to leave they turned there heads , i thought it was too loud but that wasnt the case, i just left and they never came after me about the sound.
