Cherry Bomb Mufflers and exhaust systems
In the development of high performance mufflers there is one name that stands apart - the Cherry Bomb© Glasspack, first introduced in 1968 by the Maremont Corporation. This bright red, 2' core, long straight pipe muffler with a baffled channel lined in fiberglass, produced an unmistakable, one-of-a-kind throaty sound with less backpressure for a noticeable improvement in performance. Its timely introduction occurred during 1968 - 1971, the beginning of one of the most exciting times in the development of hot rods. Relatively inexpensive to own, these cars were easy to modify and packed with power. The Cherry Bomb Glasspack became a standard bolt-on as it embodied in sound, the horsepower under the hood.
Robert Mater, Jr., former marketing director at Maremont and the man responsible for launching the brand, says, "Those were great times. It was the heyday of the hot rod and any muscle car worth its salt had to be outfitted with a pair of 'Bombs'. We couldn't manufacture them fast enough. In the '80's, that all began to change as there were more calls for a restriction on power, and more emphasis on safety. This coincided with the EPA's demand for use of a catalytic converter which greatly affected the muscle car industry."
