Where are you gonna put it? In place of the resonator or muffler?

It shouldn't sound too bad.

The downside to glass packs is that they wear out so around 6 months later it'll start to sound like ****.

Personally I'd get a muffler or cheap catback > a glass pack.

itll last you 6 months if you want to waste your money. Chris and I know what were talking about, i'm speaking from experience...mine is blown out/done/whatever you want to call it.

Look closely around the org. Some ppl sell their rear sections for around $50. Itll sound much better than a glass pack.

I say it's not worth wasting $50 if you're going to put on the Greddy.

i have a dynomax superturbo muffler....sounds good but definitely not as loud as a glass pack in place of the resonator.....suits my taste....summitracing.com has good prices on them

get the part number from here...then search it on summitracing
