I have read that because of the rear placement of our mufflers, glass packs drone like a mother.

Glasspacks are a straight-through "muffler". They have no baffles. The inner wall is perforated. The space behind the holes is filled with fiberglass. Once the fiberglass breaks down, the car will sound like a rednck's pickup truck. Real "blatty", if that's a word.

One brand I can think of is Cherrybombs.

Soundclips for glasspacks? I'm way curious.

Is the muffler placement the reason the New Edge Mustangs exhausts sound different?
