2 1/4" Cherrys behind the hedders on my 352, exhaust exits in front of rear end. It has the "old school" rap when you get over 3000 rpm.

I used to have a 77 F100 flareside that had cherry bomb glasspacks, and it sounded like an old 70s muscle car. The exhaust pipes exited behind the rear tire, one on each side.

400 4bbl, headers, 3" pipes, 24" glasspacks going to 5" stacks. Nice rumble, not too loud at an idle. Vary verbal when it's stood on.

I have ONE 9" glasspack 2 1/2" in/out on my 77 nice cackle! Gives a good brap when you rack it! The longer, the mellower, and try to get as close to the manifold/header as you can, closer to the engine, leaves more pipe for the cackling.

Blue truck has 2 in pipes with 24 in glasspacks very mellow sound, dumps about 8 in behind cab for now. Green truck has 2.5 pipes 12 in 'packs and rumbles pretty good at idle barly here yourself think under throtle dumps just in front of raer end pops like you wouldn't believe when let off and decelerating.

Which ever length glasspack you decide to run go with a perforated core and not the louvered core, it will be slightly louder but the perforated core will flow just like straight pipe and the louverd core stirs up a lot of turbulence and is more restrictive to your exhaust flow.

I have a 302 with long tube headers and 12" glass packs that dump right behind the cab. The video is kinda dark, I need to take a new one.
