Glass packs are nice and loud, and from what I heard, can make a person lose hearing for a while...

I only heard them on a truck with a single out, but not true duals... Might want to get an X pipe or H pipe, may help em sound better

One thing to consider. The crackling glass packs will draw attention at road checks. If the cats are gone, then you might not want to draw that much attention to the system. A deep sound from the flowmasters, or equal might get by a little easier.

X and Y pipes are just pipes that either come off the headers and go out the back for the duel exhaust. They are connected though to ensure proper presure on each side of the engine. If you have a pipe coming off each header and going out the back theres gonna e diffrent nback presure on each side. Connecting them with lets say an H pipe eliminates that
