A glasspack is an older style muffler that is a straight-through design and fiberglass surroundings that absorb some of the sound. It is a loud muffler, and Cherry Bomb is one of the most popular brands of this type of muffler. If you want my opinion, these would not sound good on our V6's, but sound sweet on V8's. But I think I've made myself clear that I don't like the sound of our V6 exhaust unless it's stock, so make your own judgement. I don't know of anyone who has a glasspack setup on their V6, but I'm sure there is someone out there.

1+ I have the magnapacks on mine and they are similar in that they are a straight thru design and loud on WOT esp after the S/C. Nice deep tone for the V8. Basketballord your rear tire looks low unless you are drag racing or something fill that puppy up!

My father-in-law has Glass packs on his Suburban and yes, they are loud....too loud for me. I know his neighbors cringe when he gets up early in the mornings and starts it up.
