because this isnt the 70's... and hopefully you arent a redneck... your car will sound like complete *** and they will restrict your motor and cause a loss of power

the inlet size is not the inner diameter. a typical cherry bomb 2.5" glasspack actually has an inner diametere of 1-7/8 to 2" so you will be putting a BIG restriction into your exhaust

dont be cheap... buy SLP LM1's

Why does everyone hate on glasspacks!! they are the same friggin thing as LM1 so why spend triple the price for the same EXACT sound? Dont get me wrong they might not last as long but they are basically the same thing. The only problem you might run into is the size of the glasspack itself it will be a tight fit where the stock muffler goes.

you need a little backpressure on a stock 5.0 or you'll lose power

glasspacks won't give you any , they flow too free.

i drove my '89 home on open headers cuz the catback kit i bought was missing some bolts, and it was super slow compared to having exhaust on it.
