the reason you're so loud is you pulled your resonator... A glasspack will act as a resonator, but no promises on sound. If you're going to try it, get at least an 18" long glasspack... but I'd suggest buying a true resonator and having it installed. there are a couple aftermarket places that make them...I have no links for you right off the bat.

Cherry Bombs are usually made out of fiberglass packing, verse stainless steel packing, so it doesn't do as well in heat, and doesn't have as much tone as something like a Magnaflow.
With a V-6, you shouldn't be burning it up for awhile. I've seen quite a few burned up behind turbos, but a N/A motor will really take time to commit its murder, and with the Magnaflow on there, you should have enough tone.
