There is no illegal exhaust system in Texas law, I studied that in school for about 4 months. Also on a truck older the 25 years and car older then 30 there is no max decibel level on exhaust systems/sound systems which is nice. You dont need any special registration for this benefit they are just considered collectible/classic/antique.

As far as I know glasspacks are not illegal here. I also know several people with classic cars and straight pipes. None have issues.
If you want someting that sounds good, I say get anything but Flowmaster. They sound like a hollow tin can and drone. If would suggest longer glasspacks or a pair of Dynomax Ultraflo mufflers for that vintage truck. Chambered mufflers dont sound so good and really dont sound right for classic vehicles at all.
