I got a 27" magnum glasspack for my '96 SL2 hoping to quiet down my BOMZ muffler but when i took it in to have it put on, Midas showed me that i already had a resonator on it that looked pretty similar to magnum glasspack, only dirtier and rustier....is it true that the magnum wouldn't do anything different than what's on there??? I'm assuming the resonator was stick with the car, because i never had one put on.

stock twin cams have a short resonator on the exhaust system to keep it quiet. chances are it's not doing a whole lot. what you can do is put the glasspack on there, and rest assured it will change the tone and volume.
are you doing this with all stock piping? that tends to affect things also

you have a stok resonator...a glasspack is completely different.
A resonator lets certain frequencies dies out in the chamber by boucing back and forth and canceling s like waves out when they collide, a glass pack is not a hollow chamber like a resonator. They have a luvered tube down the middle with fiberglass packed between the luvered tube and the outter casing. With a little back pressure the glass pack will absord some of the sound, but if you hav a strainght threw muffler and easy flowing exhaust piping (larger then stock mandrel bent), then the glass pac won't do much for sounds deading....it will do some, but not much.
If you look in the glass pack, the louvers "scoop" the air flow one direction and dont in the opposite direction...if it scoops, it will be quiterthen it f it doesn't.-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.

Glasspack with stock pipes
In my '96 SL2 I do have stock piping all the way through, with the stock resonator and a BOMZ canister style muffler on the end...so will putting the 27" thrush magnum glasspack on in place of the stock resonator ( which is 10 years old) help quiet it down??

Obviously anything is going to be a restriction, but I don't see you getting more than .25hp from a "free-flowing" muffler.- Justin [s]99 Blue SL2 - T3/T4 14psi[/s] (dead)
