i looked at some glass pack mudfflers the other day and have thought of a neat sidepipe idea.
would it work to cut the back end off of one galss pack and the front end off another weld them togerther to create a muffler approx 4 feet long 2 glass pack together) plus on the end get a 3 1/2 dia turnout exaust pipe for the back
i am runnign a 500 cu in engine and i know for shure it would be too loud araund here as the rcmp patrols frown on noise.
would i have a back pressure problem with this or not.
just a idea??????

you cant cut the muf. ends off like that and save the inner parts, because there whould be nothing to weild the inner pipe to. there is a pipe inside a glass pack muf. if youer not gonna use the glass pack part of it, you just as well buy a piece of stright 31/2" pipe, how ever long you need it and put a inlet and outlet on it without the glass. it will be loud. if you wont i can tell you how to make the 4 ft. glass pack with the glass in it . if you really wont to know.
