Now that I have my car running as well as I can get it I'm turning my
attention to my exhaust system.  My car has been very loud since a hole
developed in my muffler and I am thinking of replacing it.  I have a few
questions.

1.  Should the exhaust pipe on both sides of the muffler be the same
diameter?  The way mine is set up now the tailpipe coming out of the
muffler is about a quarter of an inch narrower than the exhaust pipe
going into the muffler.  This seems weird to me.
2.  I've heard talk of "glass packs".  What do these sound like in
comparison to a standard muffler?    
3.  Any recomendations on what to put on a daily driver 1600?  I don't
want it too loud but I would like to be able to hear a nice purr from the
exhaust.

Thanks,

Matt Peterson
