Anyone ever tried or heard someone with regular glasspacks. I love the way they sound on my Galaxie 500 but not sure what to expect on my 04 GT. The Galaxie is a 289 with stock manifolds and dual exhaust, 24in glasspacks. I realize that the orignial stang mufflers have offset in and out pipes but a muffler shop shouldn't have much trouble adapting the pipes for the staight thru glasspacks. The stang would have everything else stock, (ie catted H, stock manifolds)

one of my friedns had them on a 5.0 and that was all, and it sounded good. Not as clean as all the others w/ flows back then, but similar.

IMO don't do it - but not much $$ is invested to try I guess.

I think Flowmasters would give you the classic sound you are looking for. Ck out www.mustangexhaust.com for some sound clips of various combos. To listen to the clips registration is required, but it's free and quick.

A guy I work with has an '02 GT with glasspacks and I was surprised how good it sounded. You can get offset adapters and they make glasspacks with an offset. The muffler shop won't have any trouble hooking you up.

BTW, for those knocking the glasspacks, I hope I never hear you praising Magnapacks like 80% of this board does.

Why? Are Magnapacks similar to glasspacks in construction and design? Im not being sarcastic, I'm just curious

Do what you want to do, never mind what anyone else says. Mufflers are one of the most debated topics on this board. To each his own.

I say go for it LOL,cuz I dont know crap about 4.6s just 302s and old school motors and I know it sounds good on them.For some reason,everything that applys to old school motors that I know about just does not line up with 4.6s???So heck it may sound like crap.Looks like I am going to have to relearn everything I know about motors with the 4.6.So I am going to sit back and learn a while...TEACH ME LOL.
