sooo ive been searching and searching and haven't really found a answer to this question soo here it goes ......im getting the pacesetter headers and planning on running 2.5in the rest of the way back i am getting a high flow cat and the borla pro xs ... was wondering if adding a glasspack to this equation would give me a deeper more mellow sound and if soo how long should it be... also does the muffler tip change the sound of a exhaust

I would get a turbo muffler. A glasspack would work but from my experiance will be a lot louder because of the baffling
im a little confused ... are you suggesting i run 2 mufflers or not run the glass pack at all because i do have a borla pro xs muffler already

im pretty much trying to get it not sound like a ricer is what im aiming for

I run header to no cat, 30" magnaflow res, to a magnaflow stainless muffler. Sounds decent for how lousy these engines sound
i was gonna go with magnaflow untill alot of my friends that build v8's said they were very restrictive

glasspack will work rather nicely as a resonator, I'm currently running one, when my car is running that is.
I need a new sig.
magna flows arent restrictive, they have a straight through design which is less restrictive than a chambered design or a turbo design. Their downfall is that they use fiberglass packing which will burn out eventually.

yea im gonna go with the borla xr-1 muffler still debating on the glass pack guess ill just have to bolt it on before i weld everything to see how it sounds

Just go with the glasspack, I just have a header, cat and muffler and I need to add a resonator. Not saying the sound's horrible but it could be mellowed down a little lol
I would also recommend getting the largest glasspack/resonator after the cat before the bend. It will help to get rid of that constant drone, and some of the "ricer" sounding exhaust. I personally have the magnaflow, because it was the least restrictive, straight through design. I didn't know they wear out like the poster above said, so i'll need to keep an eye out for that. I think I fit an 18" after the cat. It all depends on where they weld the cat.
I'll say it before, and i'll say it again
the LSJ muffler off a cobalt SS supercharged, is dyno proven to flow as well as any aftermarket muffler, without the rice grinder noise...
I am currently running a Ron header, no cat, no res, LSJ Muffler, and the car is only slightly louder than stock. I have a little rasp, but this is only because of the gutted cat. When i replace that, I'll have no rasp. (Waiting to get my tune right)
i have the pacestter headers and a dc sports muffler on mine and it has a pretty deep tone to it.
yea ill be welding it all myself and i got pacesetter header highflow cat 23 in glass pack and a borla xr-1 muffler ... any one know where i can find mandrel bent exhaust tubing seems to be a hard thing to find
ill try to get some decent audio clips but all im working with is my droid for now

I spent close to $1400 on my exhaust
600ish Ron header
520 shipped - Atomic
--Included: 3" reducer to 2.5"
--QTP Cutout
--Y pipe for Cutout
--2.5" Mandrel Catback
$50ish LSJ Muffler
$200ish Thermochroming (1300 degree ceramic coating) Header back to Muffler
im currently running and RKsport 4-2-1 header at $425, to a high flow spun cat $180 and then a vibrant muffler $650, with 2.5 inch piping sounds amazing super deep sound almost replicates the sound of a subaru no lie. also flows well as most people will say for better sound and flow you need to pay for it. it might not be what everyone else likes but i love the set up.

I'd just find a decent exhaust shop and have them weld it up. The shop I used supplied the pipe and welded everything up for $60, well worth it imo
yea if i can find a shop to do it cheap ill probly do that but i dont know if they will charge me extra to put my header on not trying to drive my car to the shop with just the header
