so decided on glasspacks

[robaurora01]

don't know if anyone cares or not seeing as I don't have a cobalt lol but I'm going to have glasspacks installed on my car in the next month or two providing all my bills go as planned and such and someone doesn't claim I owe them millions.

for anyone who does care, the car is a 3.5L aurora with a nice sound to it already I just want a bigger beaffier muscle sound then what it currently has

[tony2toness/sc]

I heard once the glass disapears it sounds horrible just a heads up lol

[robaurora01]

ive heard nothing bad about them accept they have a drone at highway speeds (2500 rpm).

are we talking about the big name brand of glasspacks itself or cherrybomb versions of it?

[G5King]

I ran two Thrush 24" glasspacks on my 4.3L S10 for about a month until I got my exhaust done. They sounded nice.

[boostedss26]

glasspacks are cheap and sound like shit. But on some vehicles they sound good theirs only one way to find out.

[robaurora01]

too bad they don't make thrush anymore according to the guy I was talking to at the shop anyways or esle he would of tried to sell me those since apperently they gave off an amazing sound but they were made to stop production due to noise issues

well best thing about it is mines a dual exhaust car not a single and it currently already has a beefy sound to it I just want to add more and flowmaster's 40 series do not do this as I know someone with them on the same car and there is barely a difference but performance is there thats for sure

[G5King]

Check Advance Auto. That's where I got mine. I'm not sure if they stopped production. Actually, I'm not sure if you have any Advance's where you are...lol.

I have a 73 c10 i use as my drag truck with a 383 stroker and i use flowmaster super 44's and they sound badass. It's all 3in pipe though

[robaurora01]

as far as I know we don't but I could be wrong its happened before lol. their $59 a peice for my car currently its all the work and stuff that adds up to $262 I mean $120 for parts and the rest is all to install it

[tony2toness/sc]

What's the life expactacy of the glass pack

[TurboTommy]

Not a good idea

[red2006SS]

you guys know that almost all stight throu mufflers are glasspacks... except for baffled mufflers or stock style mufflers. glass packs(cherry bomb style) are normaly just smaller and have less glass and therefore dont quiet things down as much.

but like all stuffed mufflers they get louder as time goes on, just more so with the smaller glasspacks .

that sounds terrible, the stock sound is much better then that.

I did not know this.

for people posting not a good idea I wanna know why not just "its not a good idea"

i had flowmasters on my grand prix gt and when you hit the remote start from a distance you can see the car lift as it started and the rumble of those flowmasters at startup gave me wood for the first 30 days i had em

[robaurora01]

the grand prix has a completly different sound then the aurora all together so I could see that happening, what version of flowmasters did you have?
