82 Chevy C-10 350 cammed w/ glasspacks idling.

[95BlackGA]

On my opinion, I'd lose the glasspacks. Idling, it sounds like a popcorn cart.

[215rant]

Sounds beautiful, what size truck?

[jerryhowell9]

all good except for the glasspacks i dont like the way they sound ( my opinion so dont get mad :) )

[xElxxNinox]

@jpsanchez72

How much power is that making?

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

lol those wheels are a bit small

[99oldsintrigue2]

im getting glasspacks now, thanks!

[Norco5327]

sounds soooo good !!!

[TheTractorJake]

what kind of glasspacks, and what size pipe??

[jthorne88]

Horrible sound. LOL

[Zombunist]

Hi, Irecently bought a 76 c30 that has a cammed 350 in it with alot of edlbrock upgrades on it. Have any idea of what weight of oil I should put in it?

[RoBU9564]

i hate you what exact cam did you buy?

[Gage1947]

nice truck i working on mine now its a 85 gmc with a holly 600, cast iron high rise, glass pack, and im putting a comp cam with 265''/269'' duration and the lift is .442/.465

[splicer55]

@Gage1947 i like your truck but sorry to say i hate the sound from glasspacks it sounds so fake

[carramrod423]

@splicer55 are you shitting me, glasspacks are about as real sounding as you can get. Flowmasters are the fakest sounding mufflers I can think of

[splicer55]

@carramrod423 I just don't like the sound it irritates me for some reason....

[brobinson75]

@carramrod423 i think you have your mufflers backwards; you can't get a better sound than flows; packs are what you put on when you have nothing else to use.

[carramrod423]

@brobinson75 no i have never been around one of them with the muffler on backwards I hate the sound of them, glasspacks are what started performance mufflers glass packs are the real sound of the engine just toneing down the highs a bit Ive had chamberd, and glasspacks on my 76 k10 and glasspacks were the best

[MegaGuitarboss]

@carramrod423 yes but glasspacks dont reduce the backpressure as much as flowmasters costin your self an easy 10-15 hp by runnin those packs

[carramrod423]

@MegaGuitarboss glasspacks are like the most free flowing there is, look up the videos showing the test

[MegaGuitarboss]

@carramrod423 i didnt say anything about flow i said a flowmaster reduces backpressure more than a glass pack put simply a flowmaster has more room inside for the exhaust gas to fill up before it starts createing backpressure compared to a glasspack take an old flowmaster and an old glasspack fill them with water and the flowmaster will hold more

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss The highest flowing mufflers are all glasspacks of one kind or another. Just look at Dynomax Bullets (which I run on my car) They're endorsed by Tom Nelson, who builds the fastest street enignes in the world. They're the only mufflers to not starve any horsepower on the dyno and they're REALLY smooth on the inside. Not as loud as I expected either...

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock once again i wasnt talking about flow the problem with these supposed flow tests on mufflers is they dont take into account the exhaust system as a whole they just put the muffler on a flow bench and suck some air through them at high velocity when in the real world exhaust is pushed through the muffler at varying velocities why dont you guys study some physics and you will see why a straight thru glasspack while having a high flow creates more backpressure

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock you willin to take that bet ill lay a grand down how bout you

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss Look up "Tom Nelson testing Dynomax Performance Bullet Exhaust" Enough said. Only muffler not to rob horsepower, and it's a glasspack! If you don't take my word for it, take Nelson's; he builds the fastest street engines in the world.

Honestly, I'm starting to think you're just not intelligent enough to realize a straight through pipe with holes in it generates less backpressure than a can with a V welded right in the middle of it :)

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock actually i dont think you are intelligent enough to argue with someone with an iq of 186 and i certainly dont have the time to explain the science behind why that can with a v makes less backpressure but you never did say if you wanted to take that bet like i said ill lay a grand down on it if you are so convinced you are right you wont have a problem with such a small wager

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss Listing your IQ: Way to go verrasforza! I don't even fuckin' know my IQ!

But I do know this: go down to your local drag strip, ask all the hardcore racers about their exhaust. At my strip (Champion Raceway in Medford, OR) It's all straight pipes or dynomax bullets!! They're too smart to run flowmasters!

Do funny cars and top fuel dragsters run flowmasters? No!

Do punks with stock f-150's run flowmasters? Yes!

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock hmmmm i dont drive an f150 and im not a punk either but like i said i could provide you with solid proof all day long and you would still argue but people reading this can make up their own mind besides who are they gonna believe you only armed with an uninformed opinion or me armed with 15 years experience building custom fabricated performance exhaust systems

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock also i notice you keep bringing up examples of drag cars that dont need to run a full exhaust you know why they run bullets on all out drag cars ? because they are trying to cut down on noise in a street strip car that has to run a full exhaust bullets are horrible for the same reasons you said flowmaster are bad makes bullets even worse you said expanding exhaust gas would build backpressure in a flowmaster theres less room in a bullet for it to expand wich = more backpressure

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss Wow, I thought this was going to be a respectful argument at first, but now I realize you are just a stupid piece of shit like everyone else!

#1 Expansion = bad! The expansion of gas inside a flowmaster actually adds backpressure (bernoulli's principle; as a hot gas expands, it's speed decreases and it's PRESSURE INCREASES look it up you ignorant fuck!)

#2 Watch the damn Nelson video! look up "Nelson dynomax bullet" This guy builds the most powerful engines in the world!

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock ignorant fuck huh you do know you have it all wrong dont you as gas expands it dose not move slower and the only way for the gas to expand is to be heated the problem for your arguement is that gas moves slower when it cools because as it cools it becomes more dense and the denser it is the harder it is to push out and as soon as the exhaust enters the exhaust system it begins cooling it dose not get hotter in the exhaust system you fucking fucktard

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock and i dont give a fuck about your homosexual fasination with this nelson queer what he states in that vide that i did watch is solely his opinion he did not offer up any proven facts to back up his claim and unless he builds motors for top fuel dragsters he aint even close to building the most powerful motors in the world you keep tinkerin with yer lil toy car and leave tha real performance to tha big boys ok

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss You have 15 years building custom performance exhaust systems? Loser! What kind of piece of shit builds exhaust systems for a living? Honestly? Search muffler flow test: first site that comes up. 2.5" Flowmaster only flows 249 CFM. Look at the straight through mufflers (Dynomax, Hooker, Borla) They all flow 300-500CFM. True fact!

Go ahead and reply, I have a shit ton of links I can give you that disprove Flowmaster as a high performance muffler! I mean dyno and track results!

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock im a loser piece of shit because i have a job doing something i enjoy and that im good at and get this i get paid to do it and i get paid well theres a reason people bring me their drag cars to have custom headers and exhaust systems built theres a reason people bring me their carburators to build how many street driven 9 second drag cars have you built that knock down 14 mpg ? and thats 9s through full single exhaust with you guessed it a flowmaster

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock as for the muffler issue i never once said anything about flow i said flowmaster type muffler produce less back pressure you really have no idea how an exhaust system works do you ? before you can design a good performing exhaust system you have to realize exhaust gas is not a steady constant flow it is a series of pulses and flow means jack fucking shit reduction of back pressure is whats important theres science involved kid and its a lil over your head

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss A flowmaster is actually a backpressure factory. The chambered design allows the exhaust gas to expand inside and slow down, creating more backpressure. A straight-through design keeps exhaust gas hot and fast, keeping back pressure low. It's not that hard to figure out; Bernoulli's principle.

Believe me, I started my El Camino off with glasspacks, then put on flowmasters out of curiosity. I was disappointed from the loss of performance, so I went to dynomax bullets.

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock bernoullis pricipal states that a fast moving gas has less pressure i think you are confused about an area of low pressure and actual backpressure for example you put 2 inch exhaust on a big block the exhaust will be comeing out with alot of speed and pressure its doing this because theres alot of back pressure and as we all know 2 inch wont cut it on a big block simply because 2 inch dose not have enough internal volume to keep the back pressure down

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock what a flow master dose is provide more volume in your exhaust system the more volume you have in your exhaust system the better because it takes more gas to build pressure in a large volume system than it dose in a system with a lower volume simply put flowmasters have a larger internal volume than a glass pack so it takes more gas to preassurize a flowmaster than it dose a glasspack exhaust gas begins cooling as soon as it enters the exhaust system no further expansion takes place

[AxonHilock]

@MegaGuitarboss Tomorrow night I'm going to the strip. I'm going to run test and tune with my Dynomax bullets, then I'm going to switch them back to my Flowmasters to see if there's a difference; what do you think is going to happen? I think the Flowmasters are going to slow it down a bit.

[MegaGuitarboss]

@AxonHilock you better have video proof if your gonna come back and say the flows slowed it down look man common sense prevails flows provide more volume in your exhaust for exhaust gas to fill takes more gas to pressurize a larger area than it dose a small area

[labreck12]

@MegaGuitarboss i'm not sure what you're trying to say, i've always thought you wanna get all the hot gases out of the exhaust as fast as you can.. it just makes sense to have a less restrictive exhaust.

[MegaGuitarboss]

@labreck12 dosent matter how fast you get them out what matters is backpressure you need volume inside the exhaust system the more volume you have the less backpressure just cus something is straight thru dosnt mean less backpressure sure it means more flow but if it still creates backpressure its worthless chambered mufflers like flowmaster have more room inside for the exhaust gas than a glasspack type muffler

[labreck12]

@MegaGuitarboss so volume inside your exhaust is good? what exactly are the benefits to having a chambered muffler, what i'm trying to ask is why would you want backpressure? is it necessary for the engine to run right or what?

[MegaGuitarboss]

@labreck12 what im saying is that you do no want back pressure a chambered muffler offers less backpressure due to is larger internal volume it takes more exhaust gas to build backpressure in a chambered muffler than it dose in a glasspack type muffler

[70chargerblower]

Hey whats the cam specs?

[Lowroller383]

I will always stick with flowmasters!!!!! Check mine if You get a chance.... roll on!

[mongo5888]

Man that thing sounds GOOD!!!!!!!!!

[mustangtomiata]

gunna go out on a limb and say mastercraft avenger g/t's. Those look to be truck rallies painted black.

[protoslg2012]

what tires and rims are those?

[Willaz66]

they look like black rally rims to me

[MrChevyc10man]

i love glass packs but thrush fully weldeds are great and actually little bit louder in my opinion

[screaming355]

i didnt think a big cam and glasspacks would go good together, but i got to admit it sounds pretty good

[jbroad3]

sounds beautiful.

[8137272424]

i didnt know they made glasspacks anymore

[Pacerace100]

cherry bomb ;)

[390MUDDIN]

Yeah dude some new school gear heads picked up the company and brought cherry bombs back on the market in 06.

Back once again to disturb the peace. Gotta love that!

[matt1545]

i think they stoped making them but some guys bought the old factory and renovated it

[fordhatter675]

wat size of cam do you have

[ap1george]

sounds good,did you have to run a stall converter for this cam?do you have a parts number?

[diggerfan17]

Sweet dude.

[spellthisout]

your headers sound lose?

[Burn0ut79]

That was the sound of it with the glasspacks hooked up?? Almost sounds like an open exhaust haha.. let me know, i'm putting in a .454 lift in my 79 Camaro which has glasspacks (which is the way I got it) and I have to take the cats off... if this is similar to the way mine will sound that would be sweettt...

nice sounding engine man

[udownwitk]

that shit sound like a beast

[dirtracer81]

What size cam?

Got any head work?

[jpsanchez72]

214°/224° Duration @ 0.050, 0.443"/0.465" lift

No head work, just intake and carb.

[the5445]

@jpsanchez72 id be scared to rev her, shes probably end up bitein a valve.
