Back in the days when I was a teenager (2 weeks after the earths crust cooled) I had Thrush glasspacks on my '65. Back then all the straight liner's used glass packs and the road racers used a more modest muffler (i.e Turbos). To me....you cant beat the deep throated sound of horsepower that comes with a glasspack. Stand next to a car with them and your whole body shakes....stand next to turbos and your feet get a little tingly. GO WITH THE GLASSPACKS!!

The glasspacks will sound great, I had them on mine when I bought. People were always telling me to slow down even when I was only 20 mph because it sounded damn loud. I miss those days.

That's exactly what my town is like. All there is in my town are house wives driving Audis, BMW's, Mercedes' and Porsches while talking on their cell phones, while drinking Starbucks, while doing their make, while planning their next vacation.

I have not heard a mustang with glasspacks because EVERYONE around here has Flowmasters or turbo mufflers. To me, glasspacks belong on pickup trucks with big ol' tips. All the cowboys, including myself have them on the ranch trucks. To me, they sound like a ranch truck, but that is just an association thing.
Question: Why do some glasspacks pop at a high pitch and some glasspacks pop/rumble at a low pitch? Is it the length of the muffler, size of pipe, size of tip, or what? A buddy had glasspacks on his old 7.3 preturbo diesel. It popped at a high pitch and sounded like poo. My 351 truck had glasspacks with big tips and it was much lower. Not sure how these things work.
