I have the glass packs....and I'm not impressed.

Sound is great, don't get me wrong...just not a vette sound...more of a motorcycle....I was very disappointed
I'm looking for recommendations also.

The two most common/liked inserts on here are STS and max flows.

I have the max flows and love them, not sure about sound regulations though. Im sure either way you will be happy.

Hooker MaxFlo's. They have that deep old school rumble but will not set of any car alarms.

Not sure about getting past your friendly neighborhood law enforcement professional, but there seems to be a preference for the STS spiral baffles and the Hooker MaxFlows.

I'm currently trying to decide also, and I'm very close to getting the Hookers.

FYI Amazon.com (believe it or not) has the Hooker MaxFlows for $157.88, including shipping, which is less than half price of the STS inserts.
