Default Glasspack or Flowmaster?

Would a glasspack on a hemi be so unresrictive that it takes away low-end torque, or should i go with the flowmaster?

Take it from sombody who put glasspacks on his hemi... It does not reduce low end torque...

I removed the stock resonator, and the stock muffler... I took out about 8 feet of exhaust all together... And I welded on a 3"in/3"out glasspacks just after the Y-connect coming from the cats. The glasspack sits pretty much right around the space between the cab and the bed. Just under the rear passenger seats in my quad cab. And it sounds baaaaaaaaaaad. I love it.

I've only had it done for about 3-4 weeks, and haven't done much driving either. We got 2 feet of snow here yesterday, even in my truck I had trouble getting around in 4x4. So many cars were snowed in, nobody could get to work. Snow was literally like up to the bottoms of peoples doors, wheels entirely covered. Little cars had no chance in hell. A little honda civic was literally burried.

Yes, I posted a video...

My friends camera sucks *****, but you can get a general idea of what it will sound like from inside the truck...

You will need quicktime player installed to view the movie. It was taken from the back seat. We backed up to the end of the road, that's a hazard sign the camera is pointed at... Then I just floored it... The tires spun up to about 40km/h and then I think I sped up all the way to about 120km/h or around 70MPH...

I'll post better videos and such once I get my new camera.

Flowmaster sounds deeper than the glasspack, IMHO. But the glasspack is cheaper.
