Hmmmm......interesting....

I have glasspacks on my car--Thrush glasspacks. They were cheap ($15 each) from Summit. I have Hedman full-length headers and 2.5" pipe. My car sounds pretty good actually. And I'm not one of those "the louder it is, the cooler it is" kinda kid, at all.

I know what you're saying about the hillbilly pickup with glasspacks, but that's usually because they put on either too small or too big of pipe. If you get the right size on there, it can sound great. My car at idle is not very loud, but it has a fairly rough idle (thanks to my .496/.520 cam). Even when I have that thing at WOT it's not obnoxiously loud. It'd loud, but not too loud. It has a very deep, very throaty sound. It wasn't too bad driving 100 miles at 60-65. The sound didn't get annoying, it sounded pretty good, actually.

I've heard some cars with glasspacks that sound horrible. Mainly because they are not the least bit of a high performance engine and they have those mufflers.

I'll have to get some video of my car posted up on the site and let you guys hear my exhaust. I'm willing to bet just about every one of you would think it's bad ***.
