Thread: What's the Loudest Glasspack?

Tweet

Not sure if this has been asked before and I know this is probably subjective to the person's opinion. With that being said, what is the loudest sounding Glasspack?

Thank you

Much Respect.

Be Blessed.

the original thrush glasspacks in my opinion. Got 19 improper equipment tickets with them. can still find a set on ebay once in a while.

Shortest is loudest. Longest is quietest.

inside glasspacks are little dimple puch-outs which proturde into the tube center. If you orient the dimples to the front, quieter. To the rear, louder.

If you want LOUD go with Flowmaster 40's in the center of the pipe length in 2.5" to 3" pipe diameter, will rattle windows for a block. That said second vote on the Thrushes

Got THAT Right! Had em on two cars when I bought them + straight to the scrap heap after a week each. Drove me NUTS. The first set came off when a gal a block away came over to look over my 57. Said she heard me fire it up INSIDE her house a block away and just HAD to find out who had a car THAT loud and still sounded BAAAAAD + not junk like the local kids cars do. Too bad I am married, LOL.
I like Cherry Bombs, but get the long ones and aim the dimples towards the engine. Smitty's are much better in the long versions , but still get pretty loud as they burn out. Me? I like a mellow tone w no crackle. An X pipe goes a long way towards quieting most any of them down. I also mount them as far back as I can.

I think the smitty's are after the glass is burn out and the thrushes was loud to

Thanks guys for the replys

I'll look into the smittys and thrush, what about CherryBomb?

cherry bombs are illegal in most states. i know that they are illegal here in va.

I have dual Smithy's on both of my cars and while they are loud I think the old Thrush's were louder. Smith'ys are more of a civilized loud.

Smithy's are also much better sounding on a big block like my Olds 371. That's when they are at their peak in sweet hotrod sound. Not bad on a small block like in my 34, but not as good as on a big block car. Just my .02

Why dont you just run straight pipes? I can get cherry bombs here in fla.

Can't it would be illegal to run strate pipes. The thrush's, are they louder than the CherryBombs? What about Purple Hornies?

Thank you

Never have understood the fascination with overly loud pipes.... Nothing but a cop magnet IMO.... I much prefer a nice mellow sound with a good, deep tone. Nothing worse then road trippin' with pipes that are so loud you can't hear after you get where you're going.

If a car runs strong, it doesn't need loud pipes and a lumpy cam to advertise it....

Shane, are you trying to get back at some pesky neighbors?
