Glasspack questions!
 
Ok I got a 20$ Cherrybomb Glasspack from Autozone today and I was wondering about how to put it on. I know that I needed adapters and got some of those to make it fit but I need to know how to safely cut off the stock muffler and weld the new one on. I know that it wouldn't be a good idea to use a cutting tourch so i need some help on this.

I tried to do it by my lonesome...twisted off some bolts, cut my hand, muffler was stuck. I got angry and quit. I would try a sawzall, hack saw, or an angle grinder.

Reciprocating saw is what took mine off. It worked pretty well if you have access to one.

UPDATE!! I finally got the glasspack put on and IT IS AWESOME!! Soon as they started it up for the first time and I heard that rumble the first thought in my mind was...That can't be my Blazer... It sounds great on the lower RPM's around 1500-2000 starts to sound a little bit like a tuner but then again I only had it on for 2 days and already put about 500 miles on it haha. My freind was talking about busting it the other day by driving around for a while, 2 hours or so and then running a waterhose up the tailpipe and busting it. Sound like a good idea? His sounds ungodly loud and he has glasspacks, I can hear him rolling to my house about a full mile away ha ha.

That is a horrible idea.

Glad you like the sound though!

Agreed...terrible idea.
The 4.3's do sound great with an exhaust in the lower RPM's though. Mine has a nice deep rumble to it, but it's not obscenely loud or anything..which is exactly the way I like it.

i have heard of your friends idea, but if you do that you might as well straight pipe it, i'm gonna do this to mine here soon.

Got another update now, I've had the glasspack on for a while now and it is getting broke in pretty good. I've only got one issue with the glasspack (which it could have been the welding but I don't know.) After I have drove for a while and switch the engine off, I can hear a tinging sound coming from the glasspack, now it's not a slow ting at all, very very fast. Is this good or bad?
