Re: [Chevelle-List] Glasspacks

I don't know about Purple Hornies but the rest, Flowmaster, etc I believe are baffled. No fiber glass. I like Smithy's. They rumble,snap, crackle, and pop. But they rust out. But real 50's 60's sound. Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly C.

I'm not big on 'em....too loud. I made the mistake of getting Flowmaster 2's for the MCSS....way too loud as well (and they were full pipes exiting after the wheel). Next up will be the tried and true Thrush Turbos when I redo the Elky exhaust.....I'm also gonna have 'em do the pipes in turn downs like the T/A (without the splitters though....they are very expensive).   Kelly & Jana Hanna El Camino Country www.hannawoodworks.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Lojac To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2002 11:04 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Glasspacks Does anyone have a preference of glasspacks?  Do header mufflers, like the FlowTech Purple Hornies attach directly to the collector on the headers?  Do you use another type of muffler or are you just shifting the muffler forward on the car in comparison to the traditional way mufflers are mounted?  Can you then use a traditional H pipe exhaust kit to finish the job?  I see Flowmaster has 2 kits available for my 69 Chevelle, the straight pipe under the bumper and the curved pipe turned down under the bumper.  I like the straight pipe look.  What do you, my peers, think?
