Chewievette Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Snot bad! I kinda like it, I'd like to hear how it sounds. btw, looks like you need a set of tail lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 That IS old school. I've got a glasspack inline with a typical Rice Can muffler. It sounds cool, but I hear that they are pretty restrictive inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda like it, I'd like to hear how it sounds. btw, looks like you need a set of tail lights yeah, brakes too, just re-did Clutch Master, Clutch Slave, and a stainless steel line, next step is brakes. I have a video with NO muffler, but havent made a video with the glasspack on yet... Here's the 240z with no muffler: The car's real rough, the video doesnt do justice to how loud it really is.. Yeah, there's trash in the car, it's almost all parts and part boxes. I'll take a vid of the car with the glasspack as soon as I can and upload it.

Guest 280ZForce Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i thought glass packs were supposed to run in the midst of the exhaust system, not act as the tail pipe oh well to each their own, I just think it would look better tucked under the car in the middle of the exhaust piping, then run an exhaust tip or something at the tail of it.

I concur...i like the look of just a pipe coming out from the rear, not a very big fan of the chrome tips... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work at a parts store and I had about 4 mufflers i was trying to get up in there, and the glasspack was the only one that would fit in the stock location. After I finish building my second engine and i get a decent header, then I'll probably move it, but it's staying there for now. *Edit*A guy I work with supposedly has a set of the tripple webbers in his dad's shop from way back in the day when his dad and his brothers were big into Zs. So hopefully I can get a hold of them. If I do, I'm probably gonna experiment with a few different mufflers and see which one is best preformance wise.. not to mention which one sounds the best.

Cruez Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 When I put one of those on my modified '77, I could immediately tell that it had sucked some of the power.... They do sound good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
