Cherry Bomb problem

 
Should removing a cherry-bomb be done by a pro at a mechanic's, or could an amatur do it? If an amatur can, how?

oh heck no save urself the cash do it urself, u can cut it with a tourch,saw, heck even a grinder (whatever can cut metal safely) where to cut depends on what u r going to replace it with, if u r going to straight pipe it just cut it a few in from the tips of the cherry bombs don't cut the bombs just the pipe u can use them later sell them whatever ya wanna do. hope that helps

  by cherry bomb ill assume you mean glass pack type mufflers??  ya you can remove them yourself but then what do you do??  unless you have a welder and some pipe and a bender your gonna end up with a cobbled up mess. spend the dollars to have it done once and right. pick your favorite muffler and bring them with you as this will save a few bucks( i can still get thrush brand turbo mufflers for less than 20 bucks)  sound good and rumbley.  ya this costs $ but the results will be far superior to some backyard butchery that leak and sound like ****.   kurt
