    Sounds pretty good. Much better than the glass pack.

    I hear that noise. Kind of a "errr" after the note dies down.

    I think it sounds better with the Flowmaster too (y). Kind of like my old Chevy Beretta sounded like with a 3 chamber Flowmaster with an oval Meg on it. Here is an idea that might make it sound a little different. Split the exhaust manifold and run true duals on it. My dad always talks about how he split the manifold and ran glasspacks on his '47 Chevy pick-up back in the 60's and it purred with a little rumble and pop :D.

    She finally woke up!!!:dance:

    Glasspacks definitely didn't do it for me on that clip. The Flows sound a bit better, but I honestly think it will sound better after you add two more cylinders...:p

    I cannot hear the "errr" you guys are talking about.

    When I used to put glasspacks on my older 4 and 6 cylinder cars, I mounted them way up front, or under the front seat. Then long tubes out the back. It toned down the poppy raspy sound that you get from mounting the muffler in the back with a short exhaust pipe (or dumps, like mine). It kept the GGGRRRRR but lost the VW raspiness...

    Here is what 2 more cylinders will sound like for you...These are dumped so they still have the rasp...

    Scooper,
    you got a shift kit in that? Sounded real good, and seemed like the tranny has a shift kit.
