Hello everyone!,
So, the honeymoon period wore out some time ago with my exhaust and now I believe it to be way too harsh and loud. My current setup is Speed Daddy Headers, High Flow Cats, Red Hot Glass-pack and finally two Flowmaster Super 44's. What would you change first to quiet it down and make it more civil (but not prissy quiet) and maybe give it a better tone? I really appreciate any helpful advice!

Re: Exhaust Change, need inputs please!
I thought about that. They should be a bit quieter than the Super 44's too right?

Your problem is the glass pack, not the mufflers.

Re: Exhaust Change, need inputs please!
Carl is exactly right. Magnaflow makes some huge round mufflers you should look into. That or find a factory resonator. What size pipe are you using?

I believe it is 3" pipe. If I remember correctly.

Re: Exhaust Change, need inputs please!
Just brought it in to change the glass pack out with a muffler. I think the glass pack was pretty much hollow too.
