Engine another exhaust question

another exhaust question

i've read through a million threads on here and the old vvti about custom exhausts but i still have one question:

i'm gonna get custom 2 1/4" mandrel bent piping to go with my new TRD muffler and i saw that alot of people said to use a glass pack as a resonator to help with the sound. my question is, should i get rid of my stock resonator and use a glass pack or would it have the same effect as starting the piping right after the stock resonator?

also (i know i said 1 but i have 2), where can i get a glass pack from? do i just go to pep boys and look for one or do i need to go to the parts counter?

okay okay...one more...for the people in MD do you have any other suggestions for places that do exhaust work besides "Tony's Custom Exhaust" in Glen Burnie? (something close to that area would be nice)

any input is appreciated

Stock Res is gonna give lot more restriction than a glasspack. Get rid of the res, and get a 2 1/2 15-20inch glasspack. My exhaust consist of Headers, Straight through cat, 18" glasspack and muffler. Its straight through all the way, has a nice deep tone, does NOT sound like a honda. It sounds great, everyone here loves it.

Thats just my 2 cents. And oh yeah, i have 2 1/4 pipe.

what gen do you have?

do you have any sound bytes?
