Ah ,the sweet sound of my youth!. My first car was a 69' Roadrunner with a 440 c.i.d six- pak and glass packs. Drove it till all my points on my license were GONE!. 😂
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.
Had a 71 Riviera with the Rocket 455 . My dad helped me put a Erson TQ20 cam and hydro. Lifters in. 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.
My first car in 1963 was a 55 ford 2 door coup first thing i did was get a set of Glasspacks and the second thing was adding a Hurst 3 speed floor mounted stick shifter. and when I rev it it up in second gear and back it down the sound was unbelievable. I still can hear it today. Love It!!!
🟥 I had Blap Blaps (cherry bombs) on my camino. 350,Holley,Highrise,Headers,Cam,3:73 posi. I switched to turbo mufflers and it felt like I added an extra engine. Blap Blaps sound cool, except on a long, 100 plus mile journey.
I had a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with Hooker Headers, Cherry Bomb Glass Packs, Hi Jackers, Cragar Mags with 10" Mickey Thomson's in the rear and 8" in the front. Happy days being 18 years old in 1972.
I had almost the exact same set-up on my 69 Mach 1, The only difference being that I was lucky enough to have one of the few with a 351 CI Cleveland block instead of the 351 CI Windsor Y block. That car would smoke just about anything!
No disagreement, but I will say back in '75, driving my '66 Nova a guy passed me in a Duster w/SB 340 Mopar, and his glass packs sounded as close to perfect as I've heard (obviously as I still remember it to this day).
Ahh yes the glasspacks in the 70s they were common. When my urologist told me i needed Flomax i told him the glasspacks were my favorite. I wish my mechanic could work as fast as you in the video.
Thrush were the best. At a certain rpm you could idle around the college parking lot and the windows would buzz and tic off our automotive teacher. Love them and 30" glasspacks....metallic blue color.
I had a 93 dodge with the 360 magnum and put the 32" thrush glasspacks on with no cats and true duals it and it was the best sounding pickup in my town.
My first car back in 1988... I got a hand-me-down 1965 Dart GT that went through both older brothers and a grandma! It had the 273cu Comando with 727 Torqueflite and my dad had installed dual glass packs that dumped right before the rear tires. May not have been the prettiest muscle car, but it was so fun to drive and sounded fantastic!
Every muffer I've ever had to do got a thrush. It started about 20 years ago with a barn find new in box. My Avalanche 2500, with the 8.1L is sporting duel welded thrush currently.
I put a thrush muffler on my 88 Cherokee 4.0 when I was a teen. It sounded really good after it got burned out. Not a muscle car, but it worked for sound.
I was poor and only had the FuryIII sport. but the same motor and bulletproof trans. Put a 4 barrell , high rise intake, duel glasspack, "RV" cam, and pulled a 14.8 at the high school drags
Many years ago I had headers/glasspacks on my '86 Chevy pickup w/305 small-block, and I miss it a lot. Very satisfying experience, and always rewarding when I'd blip the throttle and set off the alarm on my neighbor's BMW on my way to work every morning.

Exactly right. Glasspacks are basically a straight pipe with a surrounding in fiberglass. That's where the unwanted frequencies are, so the cancelation of certain sound waves if you will only leave the best sounds to the ear

had glasspacks on my 71 GTX 440, I would downshift under the train trestle to let my Mom know I was quarter mile from home! Mine did go past the rear bumper tho.
I'm in my early 70's. Not a 'muscle head' but grew up with that sound in the 60's and 70's...! Glass Packs all day! Also had a few 'older guys' in the neighborhood in the '50's, who had Harleys. Back in the 50's, the chains were loose, the guys would just as soon hit you than say hello, and their 'idle' rumble would loosen your molars...
The 44's sounded nice, I said "yea, I could live with that". The glasspacks made me smile and I said "oh hell yeah, that is how it should sound". Nice car by the way
My brother bought new glass packs for his ‘58 Ford Police Interceptor Special with the Thunderbird engine. After driving it out on the highway and getting the mufflers really hot he ran the garden into the mufflers to break the fiberglass. Afterwards he revved the engine to blow out all of the fiberglass. His old Ford was pretty loud as I remember!🤗 If the cops pulled him over he could show them that his mufflers were new and still had the paint on them. Yes sir. Those were the good old days!🤗
Love the sound of glass packs! Was never really a big fan of Flow Master’s. They do sound good on some cars. I have glass packs on my ‘70 Buick GS 455. I love the sound of the snap and pop when down shifting.
My 1968 Firebird 400,running Flowmasters, had a great bass rumble...at idle the 400 gave a loping sound like a heartbeat. Ran a Cherry on my old '47 Hudson coupe.
Wow gotta say I was really impressed with the flowmasters. It had a louder, meaner sound. Like people are saying back in the mid 70s(when I was in high school) cherry bombs & thrush were all the rage.
They both sound really good. 20 years ago I would have said Cherry Bombs all day everyday. But now in my 40's I prefer the Flowmasters. But like I said, they both sound great and that's a beautiful car.
I always ran glasspacks on my 1970 Plymouth 440 magnum which dynoed at just over 500 hp after rebuild. It sounded awesome. With a direct conection purple shaft street hemi grind cam, the idle was great. It did not get loud unless I stood on it. Never got pulled over for loud pipes.
Yeah the "donkey dicks" never did much but bounce the sound off everything under the car, and make them dangerous to drive with the carbon monoxide entry possibility, which should not be underestimated. Take that isht seriously boys. Exhaust should ALWAYS exit past the rear most portion of the car, certainly past any operable window or opening. This rig, with a bad trunk seal, is a death trap waiting for a cold night with the windows rolled up. Zzzzz. Nighty night. Crash.
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
The glasspacks have a monotonous low tone, almost a dull thud, like hitting lead with a hammer. I find the sound boring. Flowmasters(and black widows too) have a lot more tones going on, closer to the sound one might imagine if demons were tearing their way out of hell. Rather pleasant.
I'm an old fart and grew up listening to Mopars, Camaros, Mustangs with glass packs so that's what sounds right to my ear. In 1969, cars would drag race on the street we lived - long straight away with new surface. I'd fall asleep listening to that sound and loved it.
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.
@@danmyers9372 It seems my post was deleted by You Tube. Are you referring to my stroker I called a "Torque Monster"? I assure you with Indy ported aluminum heads... they aren't small block heads. And it was dyno'd at almost 650 ft. lbs. of torque. What are you running?
I prefer the Flo-Masters! What makes it sound even better is the over axle pipes and proper exhaust tips. Brings the sound out where it belongs. Flo-Masters get nice and mellow then!! It's the extra pipe for sure!!
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!
Glasspack :) Die flowmaster machen den Sound erstaunlich stumpf, aber ich denke das dem Klang lange endrohre gerade aus dem heck gut tun würde. Die turndowns am Schalldämpfer nehmen die Tonspitzen und am unterboden können auch Resonanzen gefangen werden. Der Glasspack funktioniert mit den Turndowns super, aber de ist auch grader Durchfluss und kein kammersystem Glasspack wird der tüv nich geil finden, aber ich schon
I’m not usually a glass pack but those sound nice. I totally agree on the flow masters though, it sounded kinda cheap actually. Sounded ok idling, but really bad when they reved it
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!
All in for the Glasspacks!! They were great in the 70'd and 80, and still are today. Classic muscle car sound!! Especially when coming back down through the gears and you get that rattle and pop!
Walker used to make a muffler called the Royal Scot, it basically sounded like you are talking about. I had some on my 70 Plymouth Fury 1 440 police pursuit package car. 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.
There was a trick to glass packs, the longer they were the quieter they were. I had long ones on my Delta 88 and above an idle you didn't hear the blurble or anything.
I’ve put Cherry Bombs on countless vehicles. From a 1.5L 1983 Honda Civic station wagon to a 1995 Ford F150 300ci I6. They always sound spectacular, and I’m never disappointed. Best ‘muffler’ ever. Also cheap to buy and replace. Fantastic product.
I installed glass packs on the 1970 Buick GS 350 that I bought in 1978, just to improve fuel economy . That along with one of the first electronic ignition solutions to replace points got me two extra miles per gallon (12 avg mpg total) and the glass packs installed to replace the standard exhaust was perfect for family drives. Not too loud unless I wanted to have fun!
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. 🇺🇸
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.
@@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.
I grew up in a time when glass packs on hot rods were a given. Still love that sound to this day!
That didn't sound nothing like the glass packs I remember! The ones I remember were a lot louder and a lot more crackly!
@@docsmallblock6584 hearing it live and hearing a recording of one on TH-cam are two different experiences.

I'm in my early 70's. Not a 'muscle head' but grew up with that sound in the 60's and 70's...! Glass Packs all day! Also had a few 'older guys' in the neighborhood in the '50's, who had Harleys. Back in the 50's, the chains were loose, the guys would just as soon hit you than say hello, and their 'idle' rumble would loosen your molars...
The 44's sounded nice, I said "yea, I could live with that".
The glasspacks made me smile and I said "oh hell yeah, that is how it should sound".
Nice car by the way
My brother bought new glass packs for his ‘58 Ford Police Interceptor Special with the Thunderbird engine. After driving it out on the highway and getting the mufflers really hot he ran the garden into the mufflers to break the fiberglass. Afterwards he revved the engine to blow out all of the fiberglass. His old Ford was pretty loud as I remember!🤗 If the cops pulled him over he could show them that his mufflers were new and still had the paint on them. Yes sir. Those were the good old days!🤗
garden??
Love the sound of glass packs! Was never really a big fan of Flow Master’s. They do sound good on some cars. I have glass packs on my ‘70 Buick GS 455. I love the sound of the snap and pop when down shifting.
My 1968 Firebird 400,running Flowmasters, had a great bass rumble...at idle the 400 gave a loping sound like a heartbeat. Ran a Cherry on my old '47 Hudson coupe.
Wow gotta say I was really impressed with the flowmasters. It had a louder, meaner sound. Like people are saying back in the mid 70s(when I was in high school) cherry bombs & thrush were all the rage.
They both sound really good. 20 years ago I would have said Cherry Bombs all day everyday. But now in my 40's I prefer the Flowmasters. But like I said, they both sound great and that's a beautiful car.
Honestly tailpipes would make both sound even better especially flowmasters. Both sound great and that car is still gorgeous though
I always ran glasspacks on my 1970 Plymouth 440 magnum which dynoed at just over 500 hp after rebuild. It sounded awesome. With a direct conection purple shaft street hemi grind cam, the idle was great. It did not get loud unless I stood on it. Never got pulled over for loud pipes.
Yeah the "donkey dicks" never did much but bounce the sound off everything under the car, and make them dangerous to drive with the carbon monoxide entry possibility, which should not be underestimated. Take that isht seriously boys. Exhaust should ALWAYS exit past the rear most portion of the car, certainly past any operable window or opening.
This rig, with a bad trunk seal, is a death trap waiting for a cold night with the windows rolled up. Zzzzz. Nighty night. Crash.
Just a truly straight, classic MOPAR. Thanks for the video!
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
I've always loved the sound of Flowmasters.
That flowmaster setup was wicked - definitely my favorite.
Glasspacks give it the iconic throaty sound you want from a muscle car
The glasspacks have a monotonous low tone, almost a dull thud, like hitting lead with a hammer. I find the sound boring. Flowmasters(and black widows too) have a lot more tones going on, closer to the sound one might imagine if demons were tearing their way out of hell. Rather pleasant.
Whats throaty? 🤷♂️
@@mrbeaner90 that girl from hellraiser
Glass packs are just a bigger kids version of a playing card in bicycle spokes.
100 % GLASS PACKS
I'm an old fart and grew up listening to Mopars, Camaros, Mustangs with glass packs so that's what sounds right to my ear. In 1969, cars would drag race on the street we lived - long straight away with new surface. I'd fall asleep listening to that sound and loved it.
Both sound amazing, but I would go for the Flowmasters. That idle sound is soooooo nice.
Great sounding when the car is idling but they sound like crap in every other way.
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.
Love the sound of a big block mopar!!
Indeed.
Yeah nothing like the sound of a big block being chocked down with small block heads. Oh, I’m sorry I forgot this is called a “torque monster.”
@@danmyers9372 It seems my post was deleted by You Tube.
Are you referring to my stroker I called a "Torque Monster"? I assure you with Indy ported aluminum heads... they aren't small block heads. And it was dyno'd at almost 650 ft. lbs. of torque.
What are you running?
@@KurtfromLaQuinta probably a Toyota Prius
@@bradhardy2629 Lol!
Now THIS!!! RIGHT HERE!! Is exactly how an exhaust comparison should be done!!! Beautiful car, sound and setting!! Thanks for the great vid!
I prefer the Flo-Masters! What makes it sound even better is the over axle pipes and proper exhaust tips. Brings the sound out where it belongs. Flo-Masters get nice and mellow then!! It's the extra pipe for sure!!
Probably more power, definitely less cabin noise...
When they sound best is as you described.
I grew up listening to the race track not far from my house , I used to fall asleep listening to cars going down the track
At 63 years old Cherry Bombs will always have a place in my heart and a sound in my head.
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!
Glasspack :)
Die flowmaster machen den Sound erstaunlich stumpf, aber ich denke das dem Klang lange endrohre gerade aus dem heck gut tun würde. Die turndowns am Schalldämpfer nehmen die Tonspitzen und am unterboden können auch Resonanzen gefangen werden.
Der Glasspack funktioniert mit den Turndowns super, aber de ist auch grader Durchfluss und kein kammersystem
Glasspack wird der tüv nich geil finden, aber ich schon
voll exakt richtig !
Beautiful car! Flowmasters have always been my muffler of choice, but the glasspacks on that car sound AWESOME!
The glasspacks sound way better in my opinion! I'm just not a huge fan of the tinny Flowmaster sound
Fr.
Flowmasters are one of the worst.
I'm the same I like the raw old school muscle car sound
I’m not usually a glass pack but those sound nice. I totally agree on the flow masters though, it sounded kinda cheap actually. Sounded ok idling, but really bad when they reved it
100%.
I had a 1970 GTX 440 with the Air Grabber hood and Glass packs back in the day. Love the sound!
Brings back memories!!!
I still love glass packs all these years later , definitely still have there place
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!
Those muffler changes were rebolting! Love the glass packs, like a trip back in time (a simpler time when boys were boys).
Glasspack sounds so great! Too bad it probably is way too fricking loud in real life use but on video the sound is just so.... perfect.
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.
All in for the Glasspacks!! They were great in the 70'd and 80, and still are today. Classic muscle car sound!! Especially when coming back down through the gears and you get that rattle and pop!
If there was a muffler with the flowmaster idle and glasspack rev it would be the perfect muffler
There is a cherry bomb salute muffler. Idles awesome deep and flows anf growls like a glasspack on accel
Walker used to make a muffler called the Royal Scot, it basically sounded like you are talking about. I had some on my 70 Plymouth Fury 1 440 police pursuit package car. 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.
Straight pipes.

Have you heard flomaster super 10s?
If all cars sounded like that, the world would be a much happier place.
Both sound amazing in their own ways. Nothing beats the sound of a big block chugging it out, god I love that shit!
So cool. I would vote for glasspack. I like the deeper sound.
Glass packs on my first vehicle..68 f100 w 460. Thing sounded so good. The sound and smell of freedom!
Had Glasspacks, now have Flowmaster, and now miss the Glasspacks
Had hedman headers flowing through thrush glass packs on my ‘68 cougar.
I like the mellow sound of the flow master
There was a trick to glass packs, the longer they were the quieter they were. I had long ones on my Delta 88 and above an idle you didn't hear the blurble or anything.
I had a set a glass packs on a 1971 Ford pick up. 351 Windsor. Sounded fabulous!
Loud pipes save lives!!!
That’s for motor bikes, mate.
Ya, the sound coming out the BACK of a bike will stop someone pulling in front of you.@@catlady8324
Only in the minds of morons!
@@catlady8324works for cars and trucks too
Except you can’t hear them if they’re coming towards you….
I’ve put Cherry Bombs on countless vehicles. From a 1.5L 1983 Honda Civic station wagon to a 1995 Ford F150 300ci I6. They always sound spectacular, and I’m never disappointed. Best ‘muffler’ ever. Also cheap to buy and replace. Fantastic product.
Great video. You should look at x pipe or h pipe
I installed glass packs on the 1970 Buick GS 350 that I bought in 1978, just to improve fuel economy . That along with one of the first electronic ignition solutions to replace points got me two extra miles per gallon (12 avg mpg total) and the glass packs installed to replace the standard exhaust was perfect for family drives. Not too loud unless I wanted to have fun!
Damn that's a beautiful stretch of road.
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. 🇺🇸
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.
I had glass packs. My neighbor across the street didn’t appreciate them like I did.
It would sound SOOOOO much better with a crossover after the headers.
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.
@@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.
most definitely glass packs, however longer tailpipes would make it sound even better
Glasspack sounds growly flowmaster sounds devilish, I like the original.
I had glasspacks on my 73 Cutlass Supreme in the 80's. Love that sound!
Glasspack!
Damn your RR is so beautiful...
Yeah we all need one or two
I put a glass pack on my 2.2l Subaru engine and I really like the warm purring hum. Blocks out the metallic sound while still being audible
I like the Reichsadler at the wall in the garage.
Bird lover...
I got a big ol grin when the glasspack popped up on screen. Nice ride.
Absolutely glass packs 💯
