Almost dynomouth, but not!

I just had my exhaust installed yesterday, and let me tell you, it is the exact sound i wanted. I did a similar setup to the dynomouth, but i used a 36 inch glasspack instead of a bullet muffler. Then i had them put in 24 inch long chrome angle cut resonator tips. it sound hella awesome. ill have some pics up soon.

Shhhhhhh... don't tell anyone, but the race bullet is a glass pack. The big things that make the DynoMax glasspack great are:
1) Packing material treated for super high temps so it won't burn out.
2) Short design for less flow restriction.
3) Preforated core, instead of standard glasspack louvers. This makes for far better flow and stops the core from blowing out over time like glasspacks do.
Should sound great though. I am waiting for the pics.
Good luck
Dave

When the glasspack burns out it just gets a little louder and raspier.Take mine for instance....
I have the dynomouth setup, but have not put the muffler on yet.I have the muffler sitting in my shop.I just originally had my factory muffler removed and fell in love with the sound.The only reason I got the muffler is in case the local inspection laws require that I run a muffler.I have heard Daves car with the dynomax and mine is no louder than his.
They beat the hell out of spending $700 for a Borla that does the same thing.

Glad to help!
I hope you didn't make the mistake I did... setting the height of the rear while the fuel tank was empty.
Sure it looked great till I put fuel in the car!

99_Z_155: It will take a couple years to blow out a glasspack unless you make it a habit of getting water in the pipes. When it does blow out I would think it would sound just like a Loudmouth. You should post some pics and a sound clip, that is a pretty unique set up you got there.

No I sure didnt make that mistake.Only because I headed your warning
I left it sitting about a half inch higher in the rear on a full tank just for trips to the grocery store (200 lbs of groceries) and two rear passengers...just in case.

Oh and if anyone starts bashin ya about ghetto modding just give me an email and I will back you.
