so i went out and bought 2 loops of 2.5 inch tubing, a flowmaster 40 series muffer and a bunch of butt joint connectors for easy install... i started the project at a buddies shop today... we pulled out the rear section and then realized i had an appointment.... all we had done was chopped the straight section after the resonator... so we threw that back on just for good measure and i bolted... i had heard a buddies acura with the same deal on his, the muffler out but still a cat and res in, and it sounded like the biggest rice bucket ever... So i was expecting to drive around and get a bunch of guys looking at me like a fgt calling me a ricer... well we started it up and it just sounded a little louder than stock... More boomy... so i took it out and man... it sounded sweet... sound like a god damn race car

... set of at least 10 car alarms... not just chirped them... fully set off, so i will be looking forward slightly silencing it with the flowmaster, but all in all, the car sounds super nice with a free flow exhaust

if your car doesn't set off car alarms then its not loud enough. the glasspack sets em off in almost every parking lot...

I found a glasspack on the street out by my house, it now sits in my garage, I guess I shoulda put that on instead of my DynoMax.

when my muffler broke where exhaust goes into it, it sounded really nice till about 2000rpm where it got about 10x louder

How's the drone with a glasspack? I'm going to need a new exhaust next year, as it seems the factory exhaust is only good for a few years before it starts rusting out.

How much do glasspacks cost?

nickmpower · « **Reply #8 on:** December 14, 2006, 05:38:54 PM »

yeah asubimmer, sound clip or ban

here are 2 clips (*.3gp) just a few hours after I installed a new exhaust. it sounded very metal, but now after a month of driving, the sound became much much deeper and not honda_like

will post when I take time to record it.

Whoa, that sounds awesome! Now I REALLY want to get an exhaust on my car!

Glasspacks are not much of a muffler, they do little to muffle sound. They tend to accentuate the bass and drop the highs, not quiet the car. I have seen several that were put on in place of a regular muffler and the car significantly increased in sound. Sound also increases as they age.

what kind of exhaust is that? yall tempting me with that glasspack. i want my e30 to have a nice deep BMW tone to it.. its a little ricey with this dynomax for me, maybe i need a new cat?

sha1234, hows that flowmaster sounding?

anyone ever tried DNA mufflers? theyre supposed to be flow-through type but they have a swirl through them like DNA strands.

glasspacks are CHEAP! only about $20.. i might have to get me two of those...

asubimmer · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2006, 02:43:41 PM »

yeah they are like $20. I will try and get a sound clip up for you guys. Maybe even a open diff tire roasting donut too....

my little update on the Flowmaster
due to LOTS of power outages... the car has been stranded with no rear section
but fuck it ive been driving round with out it... making LOTS of heads turn
and its made me want to do one thing...

TURBO... i want the cars performance to match the sound...
it sounds fast.... but its only quick
so i will be starting the epic saving process soon
prob go for 666 exhaust and intake mani's
and run 8 psi for a while
