What is the current thinking on glass packs. When I was a little more
than half my current age and a college student, I put this giant glass
pack on my '71. I recall that it had a 2 inch diameter inlet and was
about two feet long. I know it wasn't a cherry bomb and as I recall it
wasn't outrageously loud although I am not sure a kid that age is the
best judge of reasonableness.

I have a turbo style muffler on my race car. I run autocross and we have
strict sound regs in our region (93 dba at 75 feet). I have driven past
the sound meter at full wide open throttle and I barely make 85.
The neat thing about a turbo muffler is that they are quiet at small
throttle openings and at wider throttle the sound is nowhere near as
"sharp" or "harsh" as the Monza.
I'm def. putting a setup like this on the street car in the near future.
