glass pack installed.... now what??
Just leave it be. In about a month of normal driving it will be significantly louder. That's the sound level it will stay at for the majority of it's lifespan. Don't judge it just yet.

Well sure it muffles the sound, that's what mufflers do........but how is spraying it with water going to break it?........the glass in a glass pack muffler is fiberglass that takes the form of very fine, hair like fibers and is "packed" loosely between the outer case and inner tube of the muff. Don't muffs get "road spray" when it rains?
i just remember after i put mine on, was showing off to my future ex girlfriend, went through a deep puddle about a week after i put it on, went in kind of quiet and came out and it was alot louder. was like WTF then got out to look under the jeep and everything was still there..but yeah its just what happens..cant explain it much more than that

Glasspacks... for the opressed Ricer in you.
I ran a flowmaster for many years, rarely enjoying the occasional wildlife encounter in the backcountry. As soon as i needed a new exhaust i went with something much quieter and it was like i was in Ninja mode... Black Bears, Deer, Turkey all stopped and gazed at the beauty of my rig as i drove by and waved.
YMMV...

you've never heard a bmw I6 straight piped then. even with a glass pak its was sweet but straight piped it was like an f1 car.
its funny, the bmw 2.5 makes the same power and torque as our 4.0 and is still an I6. even the 2.5 from the early 80s and 2.7 from the 70s

ok, so I was told to put running water up my tail pipe to try and blow out the glass ( or crystalize it )... my exhaust goes up over my rear axle, which basically makes it impossible to get water into it, and i dont want to get water all the way up obviously.... I got the pack realy hot and sprayed the outside of it with cold water, and nothing... sounds pretty stock... You guys think I should take out the remaining 2 feet of pipe, move the pack to the very back and put flex pipe between the pack and cat?? Just looking for some ideas to make it louder...
