Waldo53 hit the nail on the head, with exhaust sounds being a subjective thing. I happen to run a pair of Cherry Bombs on my 235 using the stock ID 1-7/8" pipe so I didn't gut my low-end torque. My mufflers are mounted back under the bed and I can cruise in relative comfort without a lot of noise in the cab. But wait....I'm running a T5 and cruise at 2000 rpms at 70 mph. The problem is that if you are cruising at more than 2300 RPMs the Cherry Bombs will start their "BLATTT" and you'll be an unhappy cruiser.
I'm not saying that Cherry Bombs might not work well for you...just that what you use depends on some more factors than just what makes us happy with our particular setups. When the 235 gets to 2300+ rpms, in any gear, the straight-through Cherry Bomb is going to wake the dead. In the lower gears and in traffic you're going to have to light pedal it to avoid creating too much of a racket.
I've tried the Cherry Bomb Turbos, which like the Glass Packs had a great idle, but seemed to be a little too restrictive in the upper range, and also necked down some flowmaster 40's for the 2" OD pipe. They had a good idle sound but went back to the CB Glass packs.
If you're running stock gearing and will be cruising above 2300 rpms I'd suggest you consider try some CB Turbos and mount them as far to the rear of the cab/box as possible. They're about the least expensive muffler on the market and might be just the ticket.
