    if you need to wait to buy a glass pack, wait and have all that stuff welded in at the same time.

    im guessing you still have all stock pipes and need to have it welded in.


    or you could save the shop costs and get a new Y pipe and then have a flange welded to one end of the glass pack and you'll have all new cat back. seem the Y pipes for around a 100.

    like this. then you can bolt it right up to the cat pipe.




    and bolted in.

    Now I've seen some people say pick a muffler or glasspack, but not both. I already have new mufflers waiting to be put on. Opinions?

    nah you can do both.
    a glasspack is a resonator, the shorter it is the louder your car will be. since you are already getting aftermarket mufflers, you CAN stick with your stock resonator, or get a 30" resonator to make sure it doesnt drone.

    Alright, I got flowmaster 40s for now(they were cheap, I had a gift card so they were practically free, and they are temporary, don't hate haha) so I definitely want the most effective resonator possible. I'll look into a 30" glasspack, at least until I have money to get better parts(such as magna or borla).
