Well a glasspack is a muffler, and yes it will help and is useful in your case as it doesnt take up too much room. I personally thought the glasspack i used to use sounded terrible, but you have a resonator built into your midsection so it should sound great.

yeah im running the srt cat back and that baby was loud as hell... But all good thing come to an end and one fix it tiket later i added a 30" glass pack in the mid section... its the biggest you can install since these glass packs have to stay damp and moist according to the guys in the muffler shop.. so he mounted it as far back away from the cat and only fit a 30"..

id personally suggest a glasspack smaller than 31". talk about silent. shoot for a 24-25" if you want a good deep rumble thats more bearable than wide open pipes. If you put a 31" on there u might as well just put the stock exhaust back on and poke a damn hole in the muffler haha.

If you think a 31" glass pack with an SRT exhaust is "stock quiet with a hole in the muffler" you are sadly mistaking.

also this is the borla.. well borla tips.. idk if the borla tips and the stock srt tips sound different?

Tips don't make much of a change in the sound, nothing noticable to the human ear atleast, unless you got the whistler tips! They got the woo-woo!

I have a 31" with an srt rear and its pretty damn loud still.

It sounds great IMO too.

It's fricken really loud when you punch it too :-p

i really wanna do a 31'' but how do u people get it in there... muffler shops? do it yourselves?? how do u do it? cut and weld??????

muffler shop can do it for about 60 bucks (sometimes less for cheaper places).

oh and the srt+31" thing was sarcasm guys, im just saying its quite a bit quieter than my taste.

I agree with orangeblast I had a 12 inch and it wasnt that loud at all. But as far as the srt exhaust goes they usually cut out a section of the midpipe sacrificing one resonator and weld the glasspack in place. The glass pack is like the picture above, its a long round tube. What your friend is thinking about is what I did. You can take out the section past the rear axle and simply clamp the muffler onto the pipe . They make some really pretty ones with tips from 40 to 100 bucks. I made my own by cutting up a 20 dollar glasspack.

I welded some adapters to a 2.5" X 29.5" glass pack, then used T-bolt clamps.

And for the comment about tips dont make it louder, yes they do...there megaphones in a sense....
I got rid of my resonated Autozone tips finally and had a pair of SRT tips intalled to my flowmaster exhaust, and the car is definately louder...
