What would be a good estimate for a shop to install a glasspack and 2" pipe from cat. ?
-
I got mine done with a 16" long x 3" stainless tip for $80.

Thanks, that is a lot cheaper than I was figuring.
-
at my shop to just put the glasspack in the original muffler location would be about 100

Well, I was quoted $60 a while back to put it in with the stock tail pipe, but I wanted to go a little bigger after the muffler. I didn't know how much it would cost to bend the tail pipe and everything.

Does adding a glass pack, running a strait pipe, etc, do anything besides change the sound?

It increases power and improves mpg

I see,
Maybe i should look into somthing simple & cheap along these lines...

How does it increase power unless ya change the whole exhaust system from the catylitic converter all the way back? With the size of exhaust on a stock 'Kick it needs to be opened up all the way back to relieve the exhaust flow restriction to make more power. Or without adding a header for that matter... or without opening the intake air up with say an open element filter?
I took my cherry bomb off. It made the fuel mileage worse on my 16v and it sounded like a fart can honda. Annoying as hell and hides other noises yer rig may make. Barely even hear my stereo over that noise.
I would suggest a header, high flow cat back system and also an open element intake air cleaner. Look into another type of high flow mufler... But thats just my 2 cents.
Remember... the more air flowing in and the faster you can get it out will create more power... Not just a glass pack

So are you saying that reducing backpressure with a glasspack and 2" exhaust will not help performance? ??? I agree that a performance header would definitely help more significantly, but the decrease in backpressure will help, too.

What I am saying is this... if there is any gain in power it would be barely noticeable fom just installing a glass pack cherry bomb muffler. I had one on my 4dr and it made nuthn but noise... Only reason why I did install it was I noticed the stock muffler was hitting the u-joint at the diff when fully flexed out. Only thing I noticed was I could not hear her cry for help and I got alot of headaches from noisy exhaust tone...

The glasspack is installed, now. It cost $30 for the muffler and $25 for a local muffler shop to bend and weld a piece of pipe to compensate for the offset of the factory muffler.
I used clamps to install the muffler in case it wears and I need to replace it later or if I want a different muffler later.
It sounds great. I love it. The only drawback is, my wife loves the sound of it too and wants to drive it all of the time. :laugh: I love my wife!
