installing glass-pack in place of...

Im thinking of installing a glass-pack in plase of the exhust resonator. Does any one have any insight into this of has done this? A muffler shop quoted me $60 to replace stock pipes from the cat back to 2 1/4 in pipes and $25 for a glass-pack for the resonator. Does this sound like a good idea?? By the way I have a Maxspeed muffler.

No, a glass pack as a resonator! not a muffler. If I take the resonator off I will get pops when decelleration and cheap sounding exhust. I dont want this! has any one heard of this??

Is it a louvered core or perforated core resonator? A louvered core resonator will be more effective in controlling sound, but pretty much voids the power of the catback.
