I used to get compliments about my glass-packs on my 66 ElCamino. But I would run the longer glass-packs and run the tail pipes out the back. It had a beautiful low mellow sound to it but make no mistake…when I mashed the throttle, they came to life and had the most amazing sound EVER!!✊🏻

[@vanbilly8387]

lol. My first car was a '69 Chevelle SS. My exhaust went from Blackjack headers straight into 24" - 30" long cherry bombs, then into 24" long bologna cut straight pipes. They stopped somewhere underneath the rear seats. You could see the exhaust easily from a distance. I lost count of the times that I got stopped by county and state cops for that exhaust, so many times that I could quote the rules back to them before they had a chance to explain why they'd stopped me. I never once got a ticket, and we usually spent a few minutes talking about cars and engines, etc. Those were the good ol' days. We did all of our racing outside of city limits, mostly on paved country roads where there was rarely any traffic, and we always had people on both ends to keep watch. There were a couple times that we ended up being chased by cops, but even those times, when we finally let them catch up, we didn't get tickets. We did get a few really serious finger wagging and angry fusses from them, but they always let us go. Those days a loooooong gone now, but I'll always cherish them.

Tuned it, couldn't get headers that fit a Riviera, so a muffler shop made me custom 3" exhaust with glass packs, that thing sounded rad. Funny thing , when I backed in a parking spot that bordered grass , It would pound down two circles in the grass as if you sat two 5 gallon paint cans there. Much compression I suppose. Gas was . 85 ¢ a gallon, back tires were..... @ $1. 50 per 100 miles . Lucky to get 5,000 miles out of my back tires. Damn,,, good times.

For a while, then I put Cherry Bombs on it. I worked at an auto parts store so I got stuff at store cost. The Royal Scot was really popular in places like Maryland back in the late 70s, because you couldn't have a muffler that you could just run a pipe or broom stick thru. The Scot had a thing that looked like 6 or 8 blade propeller welded in there to spin the exhaust into the glass pack and quiet it down a bit at idle and easy acceleration.

I'm old 😪 I always had glass packs on my GTOs. I still have my 65 GTO and now have flowmSters on it and continuing to think about putting something quieter on. That rumble when I was young sounded so freaking awesome ! Today it gives me headaches

[@rustyzipper6304]

Flowmaster makes some great quality products, problem is, they sound asthmatic and they are like assholes, everyone's got a one (or a pair in this case ;) ).Once those glasspacks bake out for a while, the sound only gets better and you won't sound like every other muscle car on the road.

[@robertprice9052]

My first car was a 65’ Mustang. A built up 289 with glass packs. It had such a great sound, even at idle or pulling out of the driveway.

Loud pipes save lives!!!

[@catlady8324]

That’s for motor bikes, mate.

[@garypope6382]

Ya, the sound coming out the BACK of a bike will stop someone pulling in front of you.@@catlady8324

[@paulscott6605]

Only in the minds of morons!

[@perryfefchuk637]

​@@catlady8324works for cars and trucks too

[@cutl00senc]

Except you can’t hear them if they’re coming towards you….

[@lindanelson8400]

My first car was a 66 Dodge Coronet 440, two door hardtop. The first thing that went on the car was dual exhaust with glass packs. Nothing sounds as good as the old school glass packs. Every V8 powered vehicle I've owned immediately got true dual exhaust as quickly as possible. I love that sound, to me, it says America. 🇺🇸

[@DirtMvGirt]

Damn that's a beautiful stretch of road.

[@zekragash4294]

Fellow worker and i drove across texas to the next job in an el camino with glass packs, can't remember what he had under the hood. Still remember that sound at a highway cruise.

[@regsmith7604]

I was 12 y/o in ‘68. I’m from Detroit. We had it all in my neighborhood(Cadillac Heights). Every make, every model, every displacement. Them white boys in Hamtramck were sick with it too. I remember in ‘70, there was a menacing Boss 302(in Grabber Blue), he had glass packs, a removed rev limiter, and he would terrorize the neighborhood. We loved him!

[@YoursInYeshua]

Hedman headers right into 4" purple hornies on my 73 dart sport 340 4bbl, cutoff under the seat, pointing to the ground, so sound vibrated back into your seat. That was the day!

[@JGW-81]

Great video. You should look at x pipe or h pipe

[@wolco003]

I had glasspacks on my 73 Cutlass Supreme in the 80's. Love that sound!

[@jacktravis7179]

Absolutely glass packs 💯

[@eddalton8530]

most definitely glass packs, however longer tailpipes would make it sound even better

[@WadeKessels]

What's not to like?

[@Savage-kx6kc]

What’s not like? Anything that’s not glass packs

[@kevind8752]

Had hedman headers flowing through thrush glass packs on my ‘68 cougar.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Glasspack! Damn your RR is so beautiful...

[@chaddufour7693]

Yeah we all need one or two

[@hoobness]

Glass packs on my first vehicle..68 f100 w 460. Thing sounded so good. The sound and smell of freedom!

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Glasspack sounds growly flowmaster sounds devilish, I like the original.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

Honestly, there is nothing more gratifying than the sound of a free breathing American big block. 12 cylinder Italians at full screech sound great too.

[@MFE92]

It would sound SOOOOO much better with a crossover after the headers.

[@KurtfromLaQuinta]

And quieter without the dumps after the mufflers/ packs. All the way out the back. Longer the better for quietness. But still with a great sound.

[@johnmcmullen456]

​@@KurtfromLaQuintaVery true. Loud exhausts are a novelty at first but eventually gets very annoying, especially with the drone on longer trips. A full exhaust, crossover pipe, and resonators makes for a more enjoyable ride and still retains the mean growl on hard acceleration when combined with turbo style performance mufflers.

[@RobertStaton-f2k]

Started playing with cars in 1970, have always had a hotrod since. I remember taking the stock mufflers off and installing the cherry bombs to get that rumble, loved the sound when you let off the gas and while gearing down, the cops loved it too. Can't even remember how many tickets that I got for excessive noise, among all the others like exhibition of acceleration and drag racing and just being a menace to society in general in my youth.

[@christianluggert9052]

I like the Reichsadler at the wall in the garage.
