New Muffler?

i am looking to buy a glasspack, but im not sure what one to buy because i dont know the size. i dont really want to crawl under there with a tape measure because of the snow and the ice and crap. im looking for one that will fit in the stock place. does anyone know what one i would need? thanks.

Mine is 22" and I clamped it on when my muffler rusted out.

IMO you should look at getting a turbo style muffler. On a 6 cyl they have a decent sound and rumble to them. A chambered style sounds good at idle on 6cyls, but gets buzzy on the 6yls at higher rpms, and a glass pack sounds like a wet fart through a garden hose on the 6cyls. Even on 8 cyls, the 'cackle' that glass packs give off is not that impressive, more of a "look at how loud I am" sound vs. a "strong motor" sound.

If you decide on a glasspack, make sure you get one with a perforated center tube rather than the louvered core that most cheap ones have.
It will flow a lot better.

My '89 F150 straight 6 has a Cherry Bomb turbo muffler, (PO installed it) and does sound mean!

I also vote for a turbo muffler on the 300.
