Glasspacks Vs Flowmaster- Which one do you prefer #glasspacks #holleyIn this video I compare the difference in sound of my previous exhaust to my current set up. The car is a 1956 Belair with a 327 SBC and a 3 speed automatic transmission. The previous exhaust system was long tube headers with 2 1/4" pipe into generic Glasspack mufflers. They exited out the back with chrome pencil tips under the rear bumper. The current set up is Corvette style cast exhaust manifolds into 2 1/2" pipe. It has two Flowmaster 40 series Delta mufflers with no crossover pipe. The tail pipes are tucked up under the corner of the bumpers so that they are not seen. In the Glasspack clips it had a Carter 600 cfm carb and in the Flowmaster clips it has a Holley Sniper.
Below is the link to the Flowmaster 40 Delta mufflers.

Though I am not an exhaust expert, I preferred the Flowmaster exhaust better for the same reasons. We seem to be a minority in the comments. This is so subjective.

That 327 ci engine I think was a great engine in it's day.

Very through comparison, Red! Nicely done. I had Flowmasters on both my '55 Chevys (2-dr Handyman Surf Wagon w/ 355 and a 2-dr Post w/ Dual-Quad 409). I liked them because they did a good job of picking up the distinct lope of the cam better than g-packs. While g-packs are iconic on old Merc's, post-war Fords and T-Buckets, I've found that the Flowmasters capture the torquey engines of the '60s-70s. (I now have Flowmasters on my '65 Chevy Shortbed's old 'Vette engine.)

It has a custom sliding rear window, which allows me to hear that beautiful sound better. It also has American Racing Torque Thrust 15" wheels, and RWL BF Goodrich Radial T/As. I would never consider using wheels larger than 15" on any car/pickup.

@@richardelliott8352 I just turned 64, and I grew up playing with and collecting Hot Wheels. The late '60s/early'70s were the golden age for Hot Wheels.

@TheAttacker732 Год назад

The one major advantage of bigger rims is having the room for bigger brake rotors. The big towing brakes on my half-ton saved the idiot that tried to use me for insurance fraud on the highway. However, that's an application where those brakes are expected to be able to stop 17k with some authority. Most cars won't benefit from such a setup unless they're running massive horsepower & torque numbers. However, most newer trucks are already large & heavy enough to make use of larger rotors.

Oh my gosh you had a 71 year old hotrodder in tears! We had a 56 Chevy 2/10 (ask some of your older friends if you don't know what that model was) with a 265. She would white the pipe on a high speed run and loved to do high speed for sure. Also had a 54 and 55 Bel Aire. Later had a 65 with a stock 283 that was crazy good for stock, a 66 with a 283 and a 66 with a 396. Up until 1970 or so the small block in an Impala in the later incarnations was so sweet. Anyhow the sound of that 327 (God Bless you finally a Bel Air that didn't get and LS or 350 wow) with those Flowmasters was like the heavens opening and the angels singing. A hotrodder's dream music to relive memories to.

I like them both. One thing I would like to mention about the Cherry Bomb glass packs that I put on my 1960 Corvette is that they got louder over time. At first, they were a bit quieter than I would have liked, but after a couple years, they got louder than I would have liked. I guess the fiberglass burns up over time so the sound level just can't stay at a medium tone.

Many years ago, I had a 75 Mustang II with the 2.3 L 4-cylinder and 4-speed. At the time, I was working in a shop that did a lot of custom exhaust systems, and my boss allowed the mechanics to work on their cars in the shop after hours. One night, I was feeling adventurous and built a custom dual-outlet header, along with a full dual exhaust with a pair of 18" glasspacks. It sounded great, but too loud to live with. Next night, I modified the system to add 2 more 18" glasspacks at the rear of the car, where the factory muffler originally was. It sounded great. Whenever I "got on it", my friends said it sounded like a Cessna taking off. About a year later I traded it off, but made a deal so that I could keep the exhaust system if I swapped it for a stock exhaust. A couple of months later I sold it and installed it in the guy's car at the shop where I worked. I love glasspacks.

I like the glass packs more on this car. Flowmaster sound like every car within exhaust these days, even though I know they have been around for a while. Glass packs are unmistakably old school qnd meaner sounding. Very nice car!

Good comparison video. I subscribed. Here is a simple tip I use for the battery tender, I drape something, like a towel, over the steering wheel anytime I connect the battery tender. That way it reminds me the tender is connected when I get in the car. I hope you post more content about the car.

I love Flowmaster, I’ve had them on several trucks and they never disappoint! They sound mint on your classic!!

Thank you 😁

I’m a glass pack guy just love the sound.

@widdershinss2085 Год назад

If I were building a hot rod, definitely the glass packs. For a going-to-town rig, I’d choose the Flowmasters. Great vid and nice car

@BigRed_1980 Год назад

Thank you.

@waynehoffman1791 Год назад

In my opinion, any hot rod up to about 1972 should run those Cherry Bombs to stay true to the era. But, I do like the sound of those Flows as well....especially that they didn't sound horrible and broken like a Rustang with Flows....awful.

@edwardbianchi192 Год назад

I think glass packs sound like the less expensive option. Flow masters always have that muscle car sound while glass packs have that hot rod sound. So it depends on what you are building to Mach the sound IMO

Great video comparison. And thank you for showing us on a Chevy small block. Not all of us can afford big block Chevy's!

@ericbitzer5247 2 месяца назад

They both sound great to me. I like the glass packs because I'm a bit older and remember them well. Also like the Flowmasters because they're a little quieter with the edge off because I'm a bit older.

@johnhealy4647 Год назад

I've really never likes the sound of glass packs on any engine. Of course, it's a personal preference.

@jeffm1896 Год назад

Not really an objective apples to apples comparison. To really tell the difference between the sound of the glasspacks and the Flowmasters it should have been done with the same exhaust manifolds or headers. In fact it probably should have been done with the same exhaust pipes and tips. In my opinon long tube heades are always going to sound better (and probably perform better too) no matter what kind of mufflers you use. That being said, and this comparison being what it is, I think the glasspacks sound a lot better.

The Glass Packs sound incredible.

I've ran Flowmasters before but never liked the "tinny" sound of chambered mufflers...love the "rasp" of glasspacks or any straight through "packed" muffler...Ole Skool all the way

@jamesthompson4015 Год назад

Glasspack sounded best

Glass Packs all the Way!! 🇺🇸Semper Fi

Flowmasters for the win, they made my 318 Dodge sound and run great. Can't beat them. That 56 Chevy is sweet.

@TheLTD_ Год назад

Such a great color, white over blue. Beautiful 56 chevy

@johnmilner7603 Год назад

Glass packs is your true 50’s style hot rod sound.

@1Truckman Год назад

I agree...

@solitaire5142 2 месяца назад

Flowmasters all day long!

@garylivingston9052 Год назад

Glasspacks are old school hotrod stuff. They have been making those since the 1950's with that classic sound. Flowmaster's are a much more modern sound. Love the sound of good glasspacks on an old car.

this really is one of the best exhaust comparison videos i’ve ever seen

Thank you 😊

I really like the glass packs 😌

@anthonyintrieri3329 Год назад

Best sounding exhaust system i ever had was my 57' chevy 283 with rams horn manifolds, dual 2 1/2 " pipe and Andretti turbo mufflers. Healthy sound with no annoying drone at cruise , but when you opened it up it was a whole different WILD animal. Loved cherry bombs but they always blew out quick, losing that awesome first day tone.

@richardelliott8352 Год назад

I"ve seen some old ads where Andretti endorsed flowmeters, I wonder if they are similar. As a kid I always equated Andretti with the indy 500, but later learned his was a regular race car superman.

@anthonyintrieri3329 Год назад

@@richardelliott8352 actually, Andretti turbos were more like the high flow mufflers used on 69 roadrunners and other stock hi- performance cars, with a 26" case give or take unlike the 14" case more common now. A little more restrictive but still that classic muscle car sound. Walker turbos are the closest i could find ( 26" case)
