    I've finally gotten around to getting a new muffler for my Comet and i can't quite decide on either the Flowmasters or the glass packs. What do you guys think?What do you guys have on yours?also any pictures of the fitting would be nice

    flowmaster = agressive Glasspacks = classic rumble

    assuming its an 8...I'd go with the flowmasters. and I like the 44's over the 40 series

    "A" muffler"? So it's single exhaust? V-8? I-6?

    I work at an exhaust shop so I've heard a few haha. Flowmaster of course will produce generally a 'drone' at a certain rpm but other than that I hardly ever sell somebody glasspacks. The flowmasters just sound too sweet! (glasspacks sound good too, just in a different 'classy way' IMO) (y) all just depends how much of an agressive/muscle sound you want

    Man I'm a muscle car guy,if it looks good,sounds good,runs good and it's ford gmc or Chevy then I like it xD personally the GTO Judge is my dream car but I truly do love my comet. And I'll look into that dynomax turbo later and see if I like it.also do any of you have either of these installed and can chime in with?

    GM came up with the Turbo mufflers for Corvairs....so Turbo mufflers on a GM-----Flowmasters on a Ford. :thumbs2:

    Don't need to. Every "fast Chevy" I've run across in the past twenty years al had those crappy sounding Flowmasters on em. Or at least had a Flowmaster rear window sticker ;)
