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.

Matt,
I recently had my exhaust replaced with 2" pipe from front to rear. It will
need a little flattening out where it goes through the frame members but will
work and will increase the power a little bit. I had a "turbo" muffler put
on it which is just loud enough for me. A glass-pack is just a straight pipe
throught the muffler with some fiberglass around the perforated pipe inside.
They are really loud; probably too loud for street driving.
