Sounds like a race car....I love it....gotta have it and will someday. If I stop eating I could save 10 to 20 dollars a day. After a year, maybe I could afford it and be skinny too

The cars arriving during the drive by were a surprise, lol. Right after I made that right turn, the quarry just on the other side of the trees set off an explosion. My son was stoked to be so close!

I honestly don't have a clue, lol. They are 22" long and 2.25 in/out.

No. It's now 2.25" starting at the x pipe and back.

A straight through, perforated tube, wrapped with fiberglass like material and another tube covering it. It's the original performance muffler!!

I have an slp loudmouth v1 and was thinking of adding glasspacks to mine because the loudmouth is basically a straight pipe.. Would the sound increase or decrease?

mrray13 · 09-08-2010, 11:04 PM

A set of glass packs will tone it down, mellowing it out!

BaylorCamaro · 09-08-2010, 11:13 PM

wait glass packs tone it down and mellows it out? I thought they made things louder.. lol.

mrray13 · 09-08-2010, 11:16 PM

Glass packs used by themselves, compared to stock, are louder. When used with another muffler, like my Flowmasters, they act like resonators, and tone it down.

The resonators on our cars are, in essence, shorty glass packs.

BaylorCamaro · 09-08-2010, 11:17 PM

Oh ok, got it. Did you replace the stock resonators with the glass packs I'm assuming?

2010 SSRS · 09-08-2010, 11:17 PM

sounds great

Yep! Removed about 3' of factory pipe, including the h pipe and resonators.

what inlet size did you use 2.25" or 2.5"?

mrray13 · 09-11-2010, 12:45 PM

2.25, I think. They welded right up to the stock pipe, but I think our stock pipe is 2.25 after the cats. I could be wrong though, lol.

usa1camaro1969 · 09-11-2010, 01:20 PM

Stock pipe goes 2.5" until the h-pipe. The h-pipe goes in 2.5" and comes out at 2.25".
I like the way it sounds. This may eventually be in my future.

You can get the glasspacks from most of the racing shops. CherryBomb and Thrush were the ones back in the day, but SummitRacing and Jegs even have their own which I imagine are just cheap knock-offs.

mrray13 · 09-11-2010, 01:27 PM

So, that means I didn't really change any diameter, as my xpipe back is now 2.25".

Those glaspacks used were probably Thrush, as Mr.Muffler is a dealer for them, and they weren't reed like Cherry Bomobs.

I'm liking the sound more ever time I drive it. It's quiet when I want it to be, but it'll let ya know it's there when I want it to as well!

Blade · 09-11-2010, 01:32 PM

So where exactly do the glasspacks go on the exhaust system?
