hey i have been told to replace my resonator with a glass packed straight muffler. does anyone know of any good brands , or brands that work , thanks alot

Dynomax/thrush

Stay away from anything like Cherry bomb, Vortex, anything louvered core or that doesn't retain it's inner diameter (nearly all glasspacks)

I replaced mine with an "el cheapo" I'm not even sure what brand it is...... I'm sure it won't last forever.... but for the price, it cant be beat.

Regardless, I was VERY happy with the sound.

A word of warning.... I recently put a SHO shop offroad Y-Pipe on my car, and at cold engine there is an incredible amount of rasp!! After everything warms up.... the rasp is nearly gone...

If you intend to do a Y-Pipe, go with a better, turbo style muffler, or something people have done before and like.

I ran across the Y-pipe for a helluva deal....but now I'll be putting a different muffler in the place where the Res. was........

If you decide to go with a glasspack, have the shop weld a flange on each side so you can easily replace the muffler every six months. Many will agree this mod isn't really worth it - so go forward at your own risk.

Skip the glaspacks, and put in a Magnaflow 4" round aluminized resonator and it will last for years. It's a straight through design and sounds just right.

I went with the Dynomax Bullet and I love the sound.
