Some old timers told me they used to get the glasspacks really hot and then shoot water in them and it would break the glass and make a really loud nice sound.

I've read discussions about a "break in" period. Don't know anything about that - could be valid or could be you're just getting used to the sound. Dunno....but the GT takeoffs I got had about 8000 miles on them when I bought em, so they should have been "broken in"

LOL! Those old timers are full of [sm=bs.gif] Glass packs have fiberglass in them, not window glass! Eventually the fiberglass blows out and they do get quite loud if that's all you're running for a muffler.

Interesting. Well, this may be more about expectations then. If you were expecting a low bellowing hemi-type roar, you're not going to get that no how, no way. It is a V6 after all! But no, in my case it wasn't a matter of getting used to it, there was a very distinct difference as the mufflers seasoned. Mine may have initially been worse because since I had installed one muffler to begin with, by the time the duals were installed I had one broken in and the other new. But it now sounds very throaty for a V6. I took it in to get the oil changed a few weeks back and the guy that drove my car around said "I thought this was a V6 until I started it up, then I KNEW it was a V8!!" I told him it was indeed a V6 and he didn't believe me!
