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!

 

gut the cats or take them off that will make it much louder might want to move this post to the exhaust forum

 

Damn kids and their noisy old vehicles! How are us old fudds supposed to get any peace and quiet?

 

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.

 

high performance hedders and take those cats out, not sure what size your pipe is, but a bigger size would give you more noise, just not TOO big to crap up yer flow.

 

lol, check out my gallery, flowtech headers, true dual exhaust with glasspacks. ITS REALLY LOUD!!!!!!!! and i'm going to hopefully remove the glasspacks and get a dual in dual out muffler and run the pipes through that.

 

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
