Will installing a glasspac type muffler make the raspy/popping go away? If so that is what I will get...if not I will be installing a different muffler. It is way too loud now. I just wanted to make it a little louder and get some better flow. Not what I ended up with.

Yes...i ran without any muffler just out of the cats for awhile...it was raspy and loud but then i put on this small 11" long 4" round glasspack and it made it VERY deep with zero rasp, popping, or cracking.

good luck i have the 14in casing magnaflow on my truck right now and its almost unbearable.. not for the loudness really, just whenever im around 1200-1700 rpms and when i have the windows up i can almost feel the exhaust pulses in the cab... its a really weird sensation... and then the drone from like 1800-2000 sucks but i cruise at like 85 90 on the highway so the rpms stay high enough for the drone not to bother me...

I am thinking about trying a Magnaflow turbo muffler or getting a 18 inch Magnaflow and running it out the back. Ot run what I have now out the back and add a glasspack, I will ask my friend that owns the muffler shop what he thinks I should do.

Alot of the trucks that I have had in the past had a single in dual outlet flowmaster and they sounded really good. I thought about that but I kind of like the straight through design of what I have now. I might just get a resonator or glasspac like mentioned and run the pipe out the back instead of dumped like it is now.

How about putting the converters back on, and then going with a louder muffler. Won't have the popping sound and it won't be unbearable. The converters on these trucks really don't restrict all that much, like the old ones used to. I have seen dyno runs both ways and gains are not much at all.
If you are going to all the expense of adding resonators and different mufflers, then go back to the converters and save some money and enjoy a nice rumble that you can live with.
Just a thought.
