Default Glasspack Sound clips

I havent seen too many guys on here with glasspacks... so I took a video of mine. It sounds good at low rpm, or under load, but gets pretty raspy at higher rpm. I'm getting kind of sick of it and really want a magnaflow catback, but am not sure if i wanna spend the money yet...
Let me know what you guys think, and dont hold back, because like I said, I'm not in love with it, its just a $25 job
It was taken on my cell, so sound quality isnt very good, but you get the idea...
Also, is anyone running the magnaflow 15788? Thats the one I want, and can have it shipped to my door for $390... just wondering how it sounds?

Outside


Inside

I like it, sounds pretty mean in the clip you took from the outside.

heres one of my old '92 Dakota 3.9L that I got for free. No cats, just a glasspack, i ran flexpipe into the bumper, it was kinda neat until you leaned on the bumper
that was a fun truck

Don't like it at all. Not at idle and especially not when you touch the gas. If you can get the 15788 catback for $390, then get it. that's a steal for duals out the rear in Stainless. i think it's the same 18" muffler that I have. Low grumble that is super smooth sounding.

Never like the sound of Glasspacks wide open. Too much crackle for me. Sounds unrefined.
