    I am assuming you have DEQ in Phoenix? Don't delete your cat. Get a smaller, hi-flow one, and ceramic coat your system from the headers back. Glass packs are cheap, but it depends on the sound you want. Just remember this, an improperly designed exhaust system can cause you to lose a lot of low end power, where a very nicely designed system will only give you a little bit at the top end.

      Are you still going to have a cat?
      ^ sorry stupid question.

      With no cat it probably wont sound good, but with a cat i would imagine it would be pretty cool.

            I had glasspacks on my e30. But it also had no cats and a set of headers.

                It was loud... I never got to hear the car from the outside since i was the only one who drove it. But from other people that heard it, they said it was very very very loud. And i loved it. If i get another e30, i will get the same setup; ebay headers, dual 2.25" pipe with glasspacks from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-630802/. I never had any problems with glasspacks with my past cars that ranged from small block Chevys to big block Mopars.

                  but one more question did you have a dual glasspack and pipes or was it a y pipe for a single glasspack ?

                    I had dual exhaust with a single glasspack on each pipe. The glasspacks was in the rear where the stock muffler was and i just had some Summit stainless steel tips on them.

                    EDIT: Now remember this is just my opinion on this setup that i loved. Others found it way over the top. I just like louder cars.

                    Here's my Firehawk, i think it's quiet myself and i'm going to put a set of cutouts on it here...

                        I am going to have to agree with JasonC. I am going to replace my shot out muffler with dual glass packs in the stock muffler location. I have a hollowed cat with stock exhaust and it sounds.....echoey. You know what I am talking about if youve ever hollowed a cat. I had to cut it open and weld it back together to do it. I would love to find an X pipe to replace the cat so maybe it would sound better.

                          I agree and I was hoping to get all this done by the end of the weekend but my finance company for my quad keeps fucking me over because they cant get there shit straight so now I have super low funds in my account....

                          just a word of advice to anyone, if you have the chance to work with Sheffield financial just :finger: and walk away
