try searching this forum for exhaust sounds first, its a FAQ, and should probably have its own sticky

i put a thrush glass pack on my truck and the ran a 2 1/2'' pipe into it and then a 2 1/4" out and dumped it about a 12" from the back of the cab
when i originaly put it on i had a full exhaust and it was quite like the stock muffler but had a little bit more rumble with it dumping right behind the cab the exhaust is not to loud to be pulled over but when i open it up to 6000 people get outa the way

from my expereince, a glasspack on a 300 is horrific. at idle it sounded ok, just like every 300 with an exhaust but after being driven and getting on the throttle is had a very buzzy almost ricey sound. i had the shorted possible thrushpack from advance and took it right back.

on an older carburated 300 with a glasspack a friend had, it sounded like a wet fart...

if you took your 4.9 to 6000 rpm the noise would be the least of your problems.

picking up pieces of your engine would be the problem.

6,000 is to high for most stock production engines, let alone a low revving inline 6 like the 300.

I baby my I300. And she runs her best right there. Still has all the power you need at low RPM. Plus better fuel mileage.
