glasspacks on a 97 4.6
Mt brother has 97 f150 4x4 with auto and 4.6 and im going to get him pipes for bda or xmas. i have 2 chambers on my 01 gt and he wants it louder. i have had 2 chambers on a 96 chevy 350 and glasspacks on a 98 chevy 350n and the packs are louder, how would would they sound on his truck 1 pack off the y pipe split inot 2 , or straights for the same price. the way i figure for 200 bucks either way he can add whatever center in/out muffler down the road if he doesnt like, any ideas? opinions

His exhaust exits out the side if it is stock. If you just change the standard muffler to a Flowmaster 40 series it will be low and loud. Magnaflows are not as loud but should give some performance improvement and will be louder then stock.

I have true duals with 2 1/4" pipes and 24 inch glasspacks. It's a nice low rumble at idle, but not really loud. Once you get on it though, lookout
It pops and roars like a stock car.
I've considered switching to Magnaflows, and may still do it someday. The worst part of glasspacks is waiting for the packing to burn out

Mine was $210 total without the tips, and didn't hurt the low end at all.

It gets a little dronish over 75mph, I think I'll stick with what I have. If I didn't spend hours on end interstate driving I would consider it.

You can go to my web site to hear what a '99 with a "y" pipe after the cats sounds like, to straights.
That wasn't the sound I was looking for, now I am running true dual 2.5" straight pipes.

Go with Glasspacks! I've got them on mine and I love them! If you really wanna squeeze all the sound you can out of the truck, get a good set of headers, high-flow cats, and a good glasspack. Then it's Grrrr....
