Default Glasspacks too loud???

I want to do a new muffler, just to add a little sound. I like adeep subtle sound rather than the civic w/ a coffee can sound.... will glasspacks be too much? I have honestly never heard them on a v6... can anyone give me an idea? Im not doing a whole system.. just cat-back.

Thanks all!

I had a discussion about this yesterday.
I want the same thing. A deep tone with a good growl that's not gonna get the neighbors shaking their heads and complaining to my dad about it.
Glasspacks on V6's aren't that loud, but they sound pretty good. But if you take the catylic converter out, then you're asking for something loud.
Look at Thrush Magnum glasspacks. They're pretty good, and they have a deep tone.
I was thinking about looking into one today.

If you post a video of your thrush, I'll consider getting one also. I wanna hear it first. I can't find any clips of it on a 4.3L Blazer.

I saw that video a while back, didn't know it was a member's, but that video got me thinking a glasspack would be a good idea.

I dont beleive there are any online, or at least i havnt found one yet. Unfortunatly i do not have a camera or any sound recorder. the best i can do for you is arrange a phone call and hold it to the exhaust.
