    no im just trying to pave the way for i6 owners that dont want to drop a ton of money on a built engine and just want to bolt up a few cheap things to make it a little quicker and sound a little cooler :)

    another thing to take note of

    when i pulled my muffler off i got under there to take a look at everything and i noticed some light surface rust starting on the inside of the frame rail. nothing a little sanding and and a few coats of paint cant handle. i pulled the muffler hanger off the frame rail too and there was some rust starting in there too between the 2 surfaces. just something to keep in mind for you guys that still have original stuff hanging under there like i did

    im trying to find turbo muffler clips on youtube but there all ricers with them. i guess they see the word turbo and think there for a import

    heres a jeep with the same brand muffler i got. its probably a straight 6 too

    I have always thought cheap 'ol glasspacks were the best you could do for a 6 cylinder. Had them on a 280ZX for years, loved them. Even put them on a Suzuki Samurai and it was pretty neat. Did not sound riced at all.

    I have had them on a 4 cyl Chevy LUV truck for years before that.

    Still sounds like a wimpy 4 or 6 cylinder engine, but it gives it a little "growl"...

    By the way, I really like how that video was done. Hear it coming and going, and what it sounds like right under it...:thumbs2:

    i ran glass packs right behind the headers on my v8 buick and i hated it. felt like my brain was melting. then again i might cut out that area where my cat is and splice one in at some point.

    never made it out to put the muffler on today. i did go and pick up that '68 cougar tho :)
