So I just discovered that my 94 gm ls has glasspack type resonaters right before the tip of the tailpipe as well as the mid way mufflers. Would deleting these rear mufflers and just replacing them with some nice tips make any difference in sound? I'm not expecting much if anything but I have never heard of these mufflers talked about in exhaust videos or anything like that so I'm curious if they are commonly deleted.

Not much if any. The '94 Crown Vic you saw while you stopped by sounds exactly like that, and it doesn't have any resonators. Just giving it stock factory duals you'll notice it is a little louder.Originally posted by JerseyTrueBlue View Post -
Mostly those are to reduce drone. I remember Scott had a car up there that he added glasspacks in that position to quiet it down more. It made very little difference overall. Drone was a little reduced, overall sound was barely changed.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I wouldnt bother with the resonators. I deleted the pre cats, ran an h-pipe, some cheap Thrush Turbo mufflers and slapped my old Marauder tips on it. Sounds nice.

It's a different engine but on my 87 Mustang LX I had BBK shorties, BBK offroad H-pipe and Borla Turbo mufflers and it was quiet, I mean barely any rumble at all. It necked down to 2.25" after the H-pipe but still with headers and no cats I figured it woulda been a lot louder. They were u0turn mufflers so the exhaust could come out the sides so that may have been the reason, but after that I figured turbo mufflers were about as quiet as stock.Originally posted by SVT98t View Post
On my Lincoln i'm debating whether or not to change my setup. I have 4 cats and no mufflers but it's pretty loud for a Lincoln so I may scrap the cats and run just Thrush Turbo's, hopefully that would make it have a very mild rumble during acceleration and silent otherwise.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)
