Thread: exhaust questions? glass Packs?

I am very new to the world of exhaust systems. But i have a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP with the 5.3L V-8 LS4. I am wanting to swap the resonator out with cherry bomb glass packs. I have no idea what size to get how long it needs to be or anything. I have read several forums on here and GPONA.com but all of the posts on it are for the 3800 engine. I dont want to spend 600 bucks on magnaflow compete exhaust kit i just want to make it sound lounder and a little deeper. Any one with the V-8 engine or know anyone who has it and has done glass packs please give me your input.

yea ive noticed that about just removing res. i have no experience with exhaust but noticed theres different lengths like 22 inches and 26 inches and theres different pipe sizes. How do i know what type to get? I really just want it to sound a hell of a lot better

o yea that definately sounds like a plan. i will eventually do mufflers as well...but like i said i have no exhaust experience at all. I'm gonna get the parts and i got a buddy that is gonna put em on for me but dont am researching what to get.

anyone else have their .02 cents on this topic

would u say around the 18 inch range is a good area to start?

i was thinking that i would go with cherry bomb glass pack and magnaflow muffler...i think i can figure the glass pack out pretty easily after all the research but on mufflers theres so many styles and types, what type should i get and how do i know if they will mount under my car?

thanks for the input...on most of the videos i can find they dont say exactly what they have for exhaust brand name...so i guess ill just have to play around with it
