double glass packs???
I've got a friend who has like a 80s chevy truck with a 305. He wants better gas mileage. He thinks welding two glasspacks together will help him improve gas mileage??? I told him i'd find out. WIll it??? If not what exhaust set up would???

i don't know how welding two gp's together would increase mileage. if anything, it would make the truck quieter and reduce flow. the best flow is straights...or a borla muffler...i saw a post a few weeks ago that had a bunch of setups and their flow ratings...look around and see if you can find it.

here also is a post that is only a few days old about glasspacks:

If they are Thrush Magnums or other perftube designs they won't hurt flow but they woun't help any more then just having 1 by itself either, they will make the exhaust quite a bit quieter though.

More flow is better yes. Glasspacks won't really hurt the flow over a straight pipe even if you have say 3 inline but they will tone down the exhaust quite a bit that way.

Mileage will not improve. Headers, a taller rear gear, driving downhill only, having the passanger get out and push ect will help much more.

i would go with flowmasters they are not to expensive, they sound good, and are suppose to help with horse power and gas milage but i dont know about that. i put them on my 69 ford and my 96 GMC Yukon and i like the way both of them sound
