flowmaster or glasspacks

i want a deep tone for my 93 f150. i was told to put flowmaster 40's on it. my friend wanted me to buy 35" glasspacks but then was told that it wouldnt make a deep tone. i was wantin to redo the whole exhaust system. i was goin to earn enough money to put elderbrock headers with a 2.5" outlet to go with my 2.5" pipe. then i was goin to take out both cats out and run the flowmasters i think. if anybody has a different opinion please speak up cause i want an nice deep tone. i got 2.5 pipe with a Y pipe and 4"tips strait out the back.

thanks

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-Apr-02 AT 08:23 PM (EST)]Dude I have had both, a 89 with glass packs and a 98 with flowmasters. The 89 had short glass packs on it but it sounded real good, very loud but good to me and I got a lot of compliments. I had 40 series flowmasters on my 98 and I really liked them better but both sounded good to me. Just a personal opinion though but I really dig the flowmasters more and would go with them over glasspacks, but that is just my take on it.

Glasspacks rob power from you too. Flowmasters flow much better. Kind of sounded like a commercial, didn't it?

I agree. Most glass packs (except for Dynomax Magnum Race, and Magnalow round mufflers) use louvered cores which do rob you of power. A chambered muffler could actually produce some more power, but for the maximum power you would want a preforrated core straight through muffler such as the Dynomax Magnum race or the Magnaflow. There are also some other companies that make good preforrated core straight through mufflers.

Later, Chris
