Here's a link to a boatload of Mustangs with glasspacks. None of them actually convey just how LOUD they really are for some reason.
They are an acquired taste, but if you want it loud they are the way to go. I love them;
On other people's cars.

How loud a glasspack is will depend a lot on the diameter of the exhaust pipe. Too small and your exhaust will cackle, too big and they have no muffling ability.
Glasspacks are simply a type of muffler, so they would replace whatever is already there. Weld or clamp.
FYI, not all glasspacks are Cherry Bombs and not all Cherry Bombs are glass packs. Cherry Bomb also makes some real nice turbo style mufflers.
For the 'best' sound, go with a flow-through muffler design. Glasspacks are the extreme, but many have at least a slight bend to aid in the muffling of the sound when the exhaust passes through.

i dont have glasspacks, but my friends 4 banger talon has a glass pack, and its almost as loud as my car so take a guess on that one, you should be able to find a glass pack at any junkyard, for brand new ones i saw cherry bomb glass packs in o'reill's for like 150/ ea, my guess on why they are called that it they allow the exhaust to flow as smooth as glass..
