After the exhaust work from last week, today was for 'refining' the mess i made.

I had asked the garage to just find and order me a cheap glass pack so we could just put it in the same place the stock ~22 inch muffler was.

The sound on this engine is a little odd, it's a V6 alright, but it seems to have a maximum sound level, ie. it's maximum db output peaks maybe 2500-3000RPM, it doesn't sound any louder the higher up you go.

Anyway, this is what turned up, didn't expect anything this fancy as i literally asked for cheap/basic.






Certainly didn't expect it to be painted bright freaking red!!






Most internal baffles are flat holes against the glass packing in the baffled area, these have little "cups" to help take more gas into the baffled area.






It stands out somewhat, it won't take much road dirt to stop that!








I took a brief video before i left, but it's on my phone and only includes a cold start (video camera was dead)
I'll get another video of it on a cold start with the new glass pack, but the short version is that it sounds a lot better, takes out the bass you don't want and smooths it a little more, i'll take it :)
