    ya that should be right.

    as for length and diameter, i honestly dont know... my guess would bethat he bigger adn longer it is the deeper the sound it has try searching it and see if you can find somethign on that

    when you say 26" and one do you mean 26 long and one diameter? i can only find a 3 inch diameter cherry bomb glasspack.

    The glasspack is put in place of the factory resonator...not used as your muffler...

    LEAVE YOUR MUFFLERS ALONE. replace the resonator with a glasspack. if you want more sound, replace JUST THE MUFFLERS.

    these cars DO NOT sound good, regardless of how your exhaust is setup.

    I use a pair of Flowmaster mufflers, give it a nice deep tone like a v-8 even though it is a 6.

    Flowmaster's so NOT make a 3800 sound like a V8...no matter what.
