That would be 100% accurate.

I remember a buddy of mine telling me that adding an X pipe to his '98 Rustang Slobra was worth something like 40HP. X-pipes do work well.
One big pipe works well also but who wants to look at a school bus exhaust under the bumper

I have Hooker Super Competiton Ceramic headers dual 2.5" pipe & Flowmaster 40's, I thought it sounded great until I heard those single chamber Flowmaster 10's, holy crap, I love the sound of those, I suppose they arn't legal, but I still want them, can you get them from any exhaust place that carries Flowmaster? How much do they cost? What all have you done to the motor on that Camaro? It sounds wicked.

If you actually spend money on a set of glass packs, you will get good performance accompanied with good sound. You buy cheap "cherry bombs", and that is exactly what you have. You get what you pay for.

13 Years ago, I spent $100.00 (employee cost, NAPA) on a set of glass packs, and had dual exhaust put on my Nova. To this day, she purs like a kitten at an idle, and when you mash on the gas, she has a throaty sound.

I am actually due for new exhaust on my 72' p/u. It will take a pretty amazing muffler to pull me away from quality glass packs.

I do But really, for the most part I like my cars quiet. For example, my Impala has a 2' long muffler and a factory looking dump behind the drivers rear wheel. I'm pretty fond of the "KISS" rule.
