Ok, here is my question, how does a single glasspack on a factory exhaust setup sound?...crappy? throaty? or what?

thanks

I like my classic hotrods so I like it. Others hate the sound, and call glass packs crap

If I like the sound of glasspacks on small blocks, will i like it on a 4.3?

[OverBoardProject]

I think so.
I had 1 on an old ford 262, I6 which is a 4.3L, and it sounded GREAT

Alrighty then, I think I know what tommorow's project is gonna be probably!!

go ahead and put duals on you will gain a little hp and torque and gain a little mileage if you go all out a set of headers and true duals sound great and really help gas mileage power and sound

IMHO, glasspacks are gonna sound like crap. A V-6 is not a V-8 and the 4.3L is a 90 deg V-6 to boot which means it's an uneven firing engine that uses an offset crank to compensate (it's really 3/4 of a 350 V-8). You might like the sound of it and in the end that's really all that counts but.... if it were my truck (and I've owned a 4.3L powered S10), I'd go with a DynoMax cat back system with one of thier Turbo mufflers. Or is you want to go cheaper, just get a D 'Max turbo muffler that matches your stock unit. These mufflers will flow much better than stock and IMHO, will sound much better than a glasspack.

If you have any extra money burning a hole in your pocket I'm sure that you can donate it to Ryans Kraft Dinner fund, and help out a fellow S-10 owner.

I wish that I had the coin , Sorry Ryan
