The length is where most people make mistakes. That is what affects the glass pack. Oh, before I forget I just shot a few videos. They're uploading as we speak on youtube. I wish it didn't take forever. From engine start up, some local cruising and some interstate at higher rpms. You'll here the glass pack from inside the cab as well as outside of the cab at engine start up.

Yep, pretty much. the videos will be posted as soon as they're uploaded. When you get home you'll be able to watch them.

As requested I uploaded some videos of my cherry bomb glass pack exhaust system. For those wondering, after engine start up I decided to go a little higher on the revs for this video:

Thanks dude, I look forward to hearing it

. Since you have the 3L it will sound different then my 4L, in your opinion would it only add more rumble and depth if I add the same length as you?

Yes it will add more rumble to your exhaust system. here is another video for you guys. It's number 2 of 3 video clips I uploaded:

Here's the final video clip that was uploaded which includes some interstate driving at higher rpms. In the begining of this video I mentioned an old trick that didn't quite follow up on. Basicly for those who do want the glass pack to sound extreme, after they burn out reverse the glass pack and install directly off the header with no tips or anything. I did that once and ended up going to the hospital and getting my ears flushed due to extra wax build up and blood loss from my extreme exhaust:

That's if your glass pack burns out. If you pick the right one depending on the size of the engine it will never burn out, except on a V8.
