VIDEO: The History of Cherry Bomb Glasspacks

The History of Cherry Bomb Glasspacks
Brought to you by Stacey David

Remember Glasspacks? In the days when our fathers and grand-fathers were hot-rodding, glasspacks were a common thing. They were basically a legal way of sawing off the muffler and running straight pipes to lessen the backpressure and produce an unmistakable sound. Known as ‘Bombs’ back in the 60’s because the company that first introduced them was named Cherry Bomb, today the legendary look of a bright red glasspack is still alive. In this video from the TV show Stacey David’s GearZ, Stacey walks you through how glasspacks got their start.
