Are the cherry bomb mufflers really worth it? Do they add any extra power? Can you explain how, and how much? Which is the best deal, and why?
And are they meant to just look cool?

they do add power, all mufflers impede the flow of exhaust gas and create back pressure on the engine, which reduces power, but a glasspack, or cherry bomb (a popular brand), has the exhaust gas pass straight through the center of the muffler.
you can get a high-performance cherry bomb, for around $50.

Modern exhaust systems are designed much better than they were 20 years ago. A new cherry bomb (glass pack, Smitty as the old folks called them) won't help a bit except to annoy your neighbors. I had one on my '67 Fairlane and when I was embarrassed of the noise and replaced it with a standard muffler it was still a fireball with no noticeable drop in power.

i own a repair shop ,and all they do is open the exhaust up ,and let it breath a little better,and they are loud,and in some states illegal if you don't have the pipes ran all the way back to the rear of the vehicle,but it will make it louder ,and in some cases help one to run a little better also,as the worth of it,i wouldn't bother with it myself,they burn out really fast,and then don't sound that good,if its a good quiet running car or truck right now,id leave it alone,good luck with it i hope this helps.

I would suggest Flowmaster or Magnaflow brand. If you have a strong enough engine it will sound great. The muffler will last longer because it has no glass packs to blow.

Get one for sure. They are great for meeting new people.
the people you will meet have nice new cars with flashing red and blue lights and a heck of a sound system that goes whoop, whoop, whoop. These guys will get out of their cars and come over right to your window and will want to meet you.
Let's see the license, proof of insurance, registration.
If that's what you are looking for, go ahead, great idea.
A little sarcastic, maybe but you get the idea. Be smart, don't draw attention to yourself. Let the officer get the other guy.
You learn that stuff when you get into the military. Don't volunteer for anything, and keep quiet. good luck dude
