Default Anyone Using Glasspacks?

My '72 is great, but the exhaust is too damn quiet. I got a mildly built 350 with long tube hooker headers, 2 1/4" exhaust with an H pipe and flowmasters. The only time I really hear the exhaust is either idling on the driveway, or with the rear window out when cruising and then just barely. So I went ahead and ordered a pair of 15" 2 1/4" glasspacks from JC Whitney. If I don't like'm, I can always weld the flowmasters back on. I have glasspacks through headers on my '68 chevy van and I think they sound awesome. Has anyone out there pout a set on his or her C3?

i'm running a 3.5" round, 13" long glasspack on my sidepipes, and they are turned backwards, so the baffles are in a downflow with the exhaust...loud, deep, pretty much a race car sound...not the flowmaster rumble which everyone here has.

Spice up your vette....go chambered or side exhaust.

Got glasspacks on my sidepipes. Quiets them enough but not toooo much. Basically keeps the sound legal.
