glasspacks!

so i got 12" glasspacks on my f150 right now, and i do hafta say, i enjoy the sound they make. but then i was thinking "what would a dual in, dual out glasspack sound like?" get an x-pipe and perforate it and wrap it in fiberglass then make a custom case for it. what would you guys think?

sounds good, well i can't hear it, lol lol but i am sure it sounds good, and dual glass packs would sound even better, its like going from mono to stereo!

also i see you have 3.50 gearing, same here, how do you find it? on road and off road, i have the same setup (3.50 gears with NP-205), except a custom driveline and 31's, see my signature,

but really how is it? my truck is still in resto, and the 4x4 frame was a upgrade mid way, so i have no idea, we have only moved it around in and out of the garage, so i have no idea what that gear ratio is like, also this is my first truck, so i have limited experience with different gear ratios, i know some are dog slow,

Sounds like a waste of time to me. Dynomax has a muffler called the Ultra Flo X that fits the description of what you are wanting to make.

the 3.50 gearing is pretty good, even w/the 36's on it. it chirps the tires when i shift from 1st to 2nd, so it's got enough ***** to turn the tires. it can get up to speed at a decent rate, though i'd prefer if it were a little quicker. i've never had any problems with it!
