    Anyone do it? Or hear of it being done?
    My magnaflow's were welded really bad as well as the stock tips being staggered a few inches further out and its hitting the bumper. I figured might as well have a new pipe made and new muffler/tip put on. Was thinking of glasspacks with a stainless tip. Whats your opinions?

    When you decide to change the stock tips I would be more than happy to take them off your hands.

    That's my setup right now I have a 36" long 3' glass pack as the only muffler however I plan on adding 2 more 2.5 inch ones before the tips to quiet it down a little more drone is not a issue either keep in mind if I had a cat it would probably sound perfect but my system is full 3' so its a little loud lol

    3 foot diameter pipes is the only way to do it.

    Where'd you get the corvette ones??? I was thinking, do i really need 2 glasspacks? i mean can't i just do a single glass pack on the straight away and then have just dual pipe and tip after that? Trying to keep cost down yet make sure its not ridiculously loud lol.

    Just wondering how much a single glass pack with pipes plus tips and double glass pack with pipes plus tips will cost me. It'll be added on where the straight pipe was put in place of a res.
