sound clip request
 
I'm considering using just a single 3" glasspack in a 3" exhaust setup, but I'm worried it might sound shitty or ricey. If anybody is using this same sort of setup, could you post up a sound clip and give me some feedback? I looked on youtube and found a few that sounded real nice, but I also found a lot that sounded like ----.

if this is turbo it should be all good, but na, forget it. wide open throttle is like freaking loud as hell. hell, any throttle is loud with a single gp na. boost you should be cool though.

Yeah, it's definitely on a turbocharged application.

Honestly when I started up my car with just the turbo and downpipe it was almost as loud as with my 3" exhaust with gutted cat and magnaflow straight-through. 3" to a quality muffler won't be raspy, at least mine isn't.

I figure a 3" exhaust with a single muffler would be just fine, but a muffler is about $30 or so more than a single glasspack. Even two glasspacks, the ones I found from Summit Racing for $20, will be cheaper than the cheapest muffler I found. I just want to know if my car will sound like ---- with one or two glasspacks and nothing else. If I can get away with just one glasspack or nothing at all and remain at least somewhat quiet, I'll do it.

---- get a few glasspacks if that's what you want. You'll save on 3" straight pipe too and have an exhaust with a lot of clearance all around.

It is what I want, but I'm still worried about it sounding like complete ass.
