I work at mechanic shop and a 99 eclipse came in today. It sounded very loud and I couldn't figure out why, but then the chic told me she had glass pacs. Is there any advantage to glass pacs other than the sound like hp? also if there is do they make it for our car?

So you want to sound like a weed eater now??? Save your money and order a cat-back.

Htey have no gains just a loud lawn mower sound to them, waste of time and a laughing stock if you do it

 

The only thing glasspacks is good for is running it as a resonator to tone down noise (even pre-made catbacks have small bullet type glasspacks for resonators) I just ordered a 12 inch glasspack to use it as a reso...my days running the N1 endurance with my HKS and straight pipe combo are over...now im putting a reso like ASWZero.....just my .02

get custom piping from the catalytic converter back, take off resonators and muffler, insert one or two glasspacks (very cheap too) and voila. i know what they sound like, and they sound good imo, but im not sure how it would sound on a engine as small as ours. theres a member on here that has glass packs on his piping. if you want to be different then go ahead and do it, personally i plan to do it once winters over.

i have a glasspack used as a resonator because i have no cats and its loud as helll w/2.25" pipe and n1 and it great but i noticed a difference in the low end hen i put the glasspack in. so it does have some restriction.ah oh well..

The only thing glass packs are good for are 62-67 year Impallas and other cars of that era. Either that or everytime you wash your car, shoot water up the muffler and just wait 'till it rust out. You'll get the same effect.

some kid had a 6th gen civic with a glass pack and a 4inch tip, sounded good as hell imo. my roommate, however, has one on his 6 cyl. ranger and it sounds like a big redneck truck. different engines i know, but that big of a sound change is wierd.
