glass pack in resinators spot

[shoff22]

Has anyone ever put a glasspack where the resinator should go and ran pipes in place of the mufflers and if so does it sound good i was thinking it would be louder because its bassicly one muffler instead of two so the sound isnt going through as much to get out and it would be lighter but i dont know if it would sound good

My guess is it would be pretty raspy. But if you do it I'd be curious how it sounds.

I think I remember reading Zach410422 or whatever his screenname is installed glass packs on his car.

I believe that Zach ran glass packs in place of the original mufflers. I don't think his were where the resonator would normally be.

For what your are doing, there are much better, and "True" resonators.... I almost want to try a set of high flow cats, that supposedly have a set of chambers in them that act as mini resonators...

Im trying to **** some rasp this spring too.... I went from some gutted cats, to no cats, and it is just funny how much those little empty cans absorb some of that rasp.

 

[NP SHO]

Hey Eric... How much rasp was there with your gutted cats? I picked up a SHOShop pipe over the winter and the cats have been gutted (by the PO). Just trying to get an idea of what they sound like while I'm waiting for all the snow to melt so I can bring the SHO out of hibernation.

None really at all... but that being said I do have a LPM which does change it a little... the gutted ones were a lot quieter than straight pipe... If I could find some really small resonators I might try them in place of the cats..

Im thinking the $100 resonators are the real resonators.. and the $20 ones are just cans with holes in them... I really would love to go all out on a sound mission... and if it takes another 4 resonators and another muffler somewhere then ok.. lol I have a feeling this motor would sound super sexy if it was done right... almost Ferarri-ish... maybe Im crazy.. Might need a alum flywheel to help pull that off right tho..

I ran glasspacks in place of my mufflers and it sounded great, very deap and suprisingly not raspy at all. But i ended up selling them to Colby Asarisi because i bought a catless y pipe and then the rasp was unbearable. But weird thing is is i sold them to colby and he installed them and it sounded nothing like mine. His was raspy. Wierd. I dont know wether or not him piping it differently could make it sound like that or wether it was the dynomax catback he had.

I have 2 Cherry bombs in-line where the resonator is, like no rasp at all and its kinda throty. The new guy auto-guru heard it.

I have run a glasspack in place of the resonator but still had mufflers at the end as well (the ol' edelbrock RPM's). I also had a catless y-pipe. That was the best sounding exhaust I'd ever heard from an SHO. Almost Nissan VQish.

i'm running gutted cats on a stock Y-pipe with no resonator and 2.5" piping all the way back into a single flowmaster 40 series, and not only is it not raspy once iit warms up, but it's got a nice deep tone that seems to have changed a bit since the last time i drove with the windows down...

I am running a glasspack for a resonator along with a catless ypipe and dynomax catback. The glasspacked helped alot to **** the angry bee sound vs the stock resonator (still there at certian RPMS). Not sure how it would sound with no mufflers though.

 

[SHOhopefull]

This thread is worthless without vids! And Zach's did sound pretty good before the change.

 

[shooff82]

I thought about doing the same thing with a gutted y, but using a long bullet muffler. They're like a glasspack, but they were louvered inside. I had a pair on my pickup and there was very little cackle when it was revved up.

 

[zach44102]

my sho with glasspacks had a cackle to it which gave it that unique sound.

just get a magnaflow 18" resonator, and KEEP the stock resonator. im running both with flowmasters in the back and people have heard my car in person. no rasp.
