Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Maintenance Glasspack - a LITTLE disappionted

I just spent $160 ($80 for glasspack, $80 for installation) and the exhaust does not sound a BIT different. What is that all about? To all you debating on what glasspack to go with, DO NOT go with Banzai round pre-muffler, 16" long. It may be straight through, but apparently the l o u v e r e d core pretty much cuts down on ALL the noise. Performance-wise, no big difference. I should have gone with the dynomax ultra flow - only $16. Instead I incorrectly thought the more expensive glasspack would have given me a better sound. Yeah, like NONE AT ALL. I am truly disappointed. I wanted something LOUD...

I've got a dynomax super turbo on there - i've had it on there for awhile now....I guess that's just where I am going to get any noise.

My son had a dynomax on his Talon and that sucker got LOUD after a couple of thousand miles so there is hope yet

! AWESOME! I've got about 500 right now...still waiting...
