28" is the only length you can get in the 2.5" thrush glasspack now. I'm probably just going to remove the mufflers.

if you can hear your power steering over your exhaust you might want to have that looked at But replacing the resonator with the glasspack i didn't expect much. You need to change mufflers to really have any effect on sound.

The power steering was fixed pretty soon after I got the car, it just whines when you rev the car, unless the sound comes from something else. It does sound better though just too quiet cause of those Walker Quiet-Flo's.

I wish frank would have revved the RPMs hire in his video when he didn't have the mufflers so I could've heard it.

I think it looks pretty cool under there. I say chop the mufflers. Worst thing that could happen is you don't like the sound so you weld them back on.

Sounds like you have a possible whining alternator. There shouldn't be any whining when your revving your car(unless its supercharged) I would try and listen around the engine bay to try and locate the noise.

Wow...I thought it would have been louder than that with a Thrust glasspack on it. I have a 30" magnaflow glasspack on mine with the stock mufflers and it's louder than that. The popping when you let off is probably a leak in that funky welding job they did. No offense, but if I saw that when it was on the rack I would have told them to do it again and put a decent bead on it.
