Glasspacks

I was wondering if anyone runs a glasspack muffler on here. I'm making my exhuast myself and I thought it would be kinda cool/different to run a glasspack. I've seen and heard a ford ranger with them and it sounded pretty good, but I wanted to know if there were any real down side to running one. There pretty cheap and seem like I wouldn't have to worry about spacing much. Any input will do.

Heck yeah, I run one. Click here for a quick video. Your 3.0 will sound similar. The vid is before I was supercharged. FYI.

I have one on my 3.0 Toy. Not the best. Back pressure sucks. Sounds okay for what it is. I hardly hear it in the cab. At freeway speeds I only hear the swampers. I'll try to get some sound samples of mine for ya...

I see the glasspack as a temporary muffler. Lifespan can be from 3 months to years. Price varys between brands and the overall length of the glasspack will alter the sound. Shorter will be loud, while a longer one will mellow the sound out a bit more. Either way it'll sound like a 4-stroke quad

Ive been running one since a week after I bought my truck. They work great. Although I wish I had gotten a shorter one.

Did you click the link I posted? If that sounds like a 4-stroke quad, I need to have my ears checked.

It drones at certain RPM. All in all, it drones most of the time. I like loud though.

I have no idea. Never had a Magnaflow. It's loud. It scares kids and old people.
