louder exhaust
I have a 1984 FORD F250 with a 351Windsor and a 2 barrel carburetor. On my exhaust it is basicly stock headers to 2 catalytic converters and to the muffler. What I did so far was remove the muffler and I want to put on a cheap $20 glasspack would that make the exhaust louder and a deeper tone? Would I gain any horsepower? Thanks!

I'm sure you gained horsepower from removing the muffler. The glasspack as long as its ID isn't too small should have a minimal effect on your truck's flow, so you shouldn' lose much if anything with the glasspack.

if you want it loud and obnoxious then get a set of headers, make a 2 1/2 inch y pipe and run a single 3" pipe into a flowmaster or other preformance muffler of choice and nothing on the back of the muffler, no tail pipe no turn down. I have a 85 dodge 318 with that set up and it will rip your head off. I have been told by the police that i need to slow down because there was businesses down the street from where i work that were complaining that i was haulin @zz down the road when i really was barely doing the speed limit. if you want the cheaper way then just ditch the cats and run a single 3" strait pipe with a short turn down just before the axle 
Bigger pipe = louder and shorter pipe after muffler = deeper tone
