Question is why? Don't you like the sound, is it too loud? Nobody uses glass packs anymore. If its noise or resonance, an X- or H- pipe with modern resonators would be the way to go.

Put in some high flow cats if its to loud for ya. Glass packs dont do much in terms of making things quieter.

That would be to loud for me also on a regular basis and I'm not one of the old farts. Go with different rear section and stingers won't help a lot from experience. Like your setup, the loud I added made the loud I liked too loud and so I added quiet to make the loud I added just right. lol

I did the nearly the same thing, except I used Dynomax Race Bullets, made my LG's with cats Plus Magnaflows very tolerable. Just drove it 320 miles this evening. Drove it to Bowling Green and back a couple of months ago. 2100 miles.

I've got the high flow cats in the kooks xpipe already. Just thinking a small diameter muffler, like glasspacks would do something similar to the B&B prt system. Its not so loud that I can't live with it, but it is just a little louder than I want. It is intoxicating at full throttle though!
