What do you guys think ..

about cutting off my muffler and welding on glasspacks ? .. gain performance or lose performance ? ? .. so basically its straight piped .. yah kno?

That would be similar to the setup I have now on my DX. Well, sorta similar. I have a pacesetter header, high flow cat, purple horny glasspack and 2.25in piping. I had the cat, p.h., and 2.25in put on before I had my header and I noticed that my car pulled a little more in the higher RPMs. (3.5K and above) If you have completely stock exhaust, the only difference you would probably notice is a difference in sound. Your stock exhaust manifold, cat, and smaller piping are fairly restrictive. Upgrading all that and you should feel a noticable power increase. If you really want a performance improvement, get a whole new exhaust setup, if your only looking for a sound difference for the time being, go ahead and throw on the glasspack. I am pleased with my car's sound. It is mild, but after 3k it opens up and yells.

Yeah I'd have to agree with the everything else remaining stock it would be a sound change vs performance gain or loss. BTW, my compleate catback system only cost me $156 parts and labor. If your willing to drive to modesto, you can use the same shop I did. Quietmaster's in ceres. Their labor charge was only $92. I used them to cut out my G35's premuffler and replace it with a magnaflow glasspack also.

It will make a nice change in the exhaust tone. Performance wise it would be best to get 2.25" but that cost money. I don't have any.

yea ok .. well i welded on glasspacks on my stock exhaust system .. yea i cant tell of a gain or not .. nut it sounds nice .. not raspy at high rpms either .. it gets quite after 5k i guess .. but below sounds NIIICE .. but i will be lookin for new headers and cat-back .. any suggestions ? but only after im done with flushing my radiator and replacing my thermostat .. Jim where your from ? did u think about cummin tah the meet in sacramento ? ? THANKS
