i have a 1989 si crx what happens if i put a header a glasspack my cat and then a muffler someone told me thats what to do. it wouldnt be to loud it would sound good is that right

 

It wont sound good at all.

 

Ummm do you know what a glasspack does!?

 

i think it might be decent. i kinda want to try it just to see. you guys know greddy evo is a really really high quality glasspack, right?

 

I thought glass packs were mufflers that utilized fiberGLASS to make em really loud.............

 

Agh, leave the glass packs to red neck V-8 trucks. I dont think it would sound that good, but if Sac thinks otherwise, he might be right.

 

i dont think ive ever heard one on a honda, but way back in highschool i had an 89 escort with one, and it wasnt too bad. a little loud, but it was a short one, so it would be quieter with a longer one. but yeah, they use fiberglass to deaden the sound, but so does the Evo. i doubt many of you have ever stood in a small room with fiberglass insulation and no sheetrock, but its odd how much of your own voice it absorbs. its actually a pretty effective sound absorber. ive actually been thinking about using it to pack in the dead spaces around the trunk of my car, since it absorbs sound so well, and doesnt weigh much of anything.


but fast93 has a point, theres just something inherently white trash about glasspacks. ehh, oh well, if it works, it works.

 

Well, I gotta say that it will do nothing but louden the car. I can here a truck with glasspacks ahalf a mile a way on a quiet day. [&:]

 

it might not louden (?) it compared to a loud ricey muffler though. dammit, you guys are gonna force me to try this this summer, arent you. im still speculating, so we'll have to see. ive got some spare exhaust pipe laying around, now i just need a cherry bomb.[&:]

 

I actually had a glasspack on my second hatch, and it doesn't sound bad at all. It's even throatier than most catback systems you can buy these days, BEFORE you even add any kind of large-diameter piping. It DOESN'T turn it into a weed eater, if that's what you're all thinking. I bought it because I had piping mandrel-bent by a local machine shop, and all I needed was a muffler. I'd definitely do it again. Sounds gooood.
