although.... just get some hooker longtubes, and go with a 16" glass. sounds wicked with a decent cam. i'm running hookers on the dune buggy right now with a .512" lift cam with about a 245 duration.... I almost wet my pants when we first fired it up. sounds pretty juicy right now, the top end is definately really fookin loud, but idle isn't that terrible. cops dont like it. once I wanna "street legal" the buggy I'm just going to put a 16" glass behind each collector, I might have to do 2 to get by with emissions... I dunno, my buddy has a 4.3L chevy v6 runnin some long tubes and he has to run 2 inline glasspacks to stay within sound ordenance and emissions..... whatever tickles your pickle man

Really? I guess every single car and truck I've ever heard with glasspacks had me fooled. So "muscle" = glasspacks?

glasspacks produce more of what people call a muscle sound. it just makes em sound more like old school 60's/70's cars that had glasspacks which is commonly refferred to as the muscle car era... I personally prefer to have a flow over a glasspack, but if the muffler is exposed it looks nicer IMO to have a glasspack since it's pretty close to the shape of the exhaust. just my 2 cents

I agree, nothing like the sound of a glasspack racking out at 2500 rpms.
