  • Glasspack vs flowmaster

    Tonight me and my friend installed a glass pack on his 94 3.4 camaro. the only mods on it was a K&N FIPK and its lowered. i installed it in place of the muffler. so it came from the right and exited on the rear left. It sounds bad@$$. It does have a little bit of a rice sound after 3500 RPM But it still sounds good. you can still tell that its not a 4 banger though. i took some video clips and the sound is really good on them ill compress them 2night and try and have them up tomarrow or sat. but my question was would i be better off doing daul glass packs after the axle or just get a flowmaster LS1 cat back. If i do glass packs i was going to y or t pipe it after the axle with 2.5 or 3 in pipe and put a glass pack on each side. they would have to be short glass packs though. what do you guys think? i know the glass packs would take more work(im doing it myself) but they would also be cheaper. Which would be louder?

    Heres the link to the video...

    it sounds a lil louder and deeper but i had to lower the quality so it wouldnt be a huge file. but you can get a general idea.

    i might just do mine the same way and get the flowmaster later.

      That isn't too bad. sounds pretty good on a 3.4 but it sounds like he was under 2500 RPM's when he took off, so don't know what it sounds like over 2500, but it sounds alright.

        When he gets farther away and lefts off hes actually closer to 4000 RPM. You think i should go 4 one on my 3.8 and just get the flowmaster when i get the money? i mean for $20 bucks you cant beat it.

          I guess you could try. For $20 I'd say its worth the sound test. If you hate it you are only loosing $20 instead of like $80 or $100(Not really sure how much flowmaster mufflers cost). I heard a guy at an autoparts store saying that you should avoid glasspacks because of how hot they can get. I don't know if what he was saying was legitamite or not, but if your friend is having no problem I guess it can't hurt.

              oh, I didn't know you were getting the whole cat-back, I thought you were just getting the muffler. So in comparison to $300 for the whole kit, $20 is nothing if you don't like it.

                depends on if you are going for sound (which it sounds like you are) or performance. Cat back will prob. give you better performance than installing a glasspack.

                I posted a couple of clips of my car a few weeks ago.

                If you want to hear a flowmaster (80 series) cat back. (I have pacesetter headers as well with makes it a little deeper)
