Newb Question. Is a glasspack exhaust just a muffler, or the whole exhaust system. A cat exhaust is the whole exhaust though right?

A glasspack is a muffler wanna-be that will make your exhaust sound like crap ;)

The exhaust system is made up of 4 major components. The exhaust manifold or header, which attaches to the engine. The catalytic converters, which reduce emissions. The muffler, which changes the sound. And the tailpipe. Catback exhaust refers to the muffler and tailpipe.
 












glasspacks wont do crap for you performance either.

....and if you have neighbors within 50yards, they will hate you for them (believe me, I am one of those neighbors).
 






If you like rice go with a glasspack with a five inch tip.HA HA
 






Well what kind of custom exhaust should i get to make my 4.0 V6 sound deep and kinda loud, but not too loud so it makes a popping noise. Are there any exhaust systems that will have me feel an increase in power :) ?
 






I love my Magnaflow muffler and 2.25" tailpipe. I recommend 2.25" tailpipe for OHV, 2.5" for SOHC.

The Magnaflow is deep and mellow at idle and WOT, and doesn't drone on the highway. 4 years old and still in perfect condition.
 






Best bang for the buck I would say flowmaster catback
 






Hell psychotic I did not realise that was you when I was on earlier. There is a place on Shawnee Mission Parkway called Midwest Muffler & Brake that sells and intalls Flowmaster systems.
 






I love my flowmaster. A glass pack might sound OK in the begining but after a while when the glass rots out it will sound like crap.
 






naw, a glasspack aint gonna sound ok in the begining. a guy at work just put one on his 4.0 Ranger last week and we really give him a hard time. they are cheesy sounding at best on a V8 and on a V6 they create the worst sound you could possibly get from an internal combustion engine. sounds like a dying cow.:)
 






are borla exhaust any good, sound good and worth the money?
 






It all depends on what you are going for. Personally, I think that flowmaster sounds the best. If I were going for max performance, maybe I would have chose borla, but I really just wanted a good sounding dual exhaust setup.
