I have a 2005 ranger 4.0 5 speed and i just put a glasspack on it its not as loud as i wanted and i was wondering if i took the cat converter off if that would help.

so you dont advise cutting them off

 

pretty much.. on our trucks, yeah, I wouldnt bother getting oen cut off.. most epseically if you have emissions testing. Its best to just do it proper and buy a good exhaust system from the cat-back

 

I've got my converter cut off.
No lights came on. :)
I have thrush glasspacks on my 2.5L and that joker is loud....

 

i live in iowa and ive never heard about emission tests but i think ill listen to ya and leave it on just to be safe thanks

 

with glas packs you can get em really hot and the spray water on them and they will get a lot louder

 

o alright thanks i think i have heard of that i will try it

 

Hey, we dont have emmissions testing in iowa

 

True glasspacks get louder with time and with time they rust horribly

 

thats what i was thinking cause i never heard of them

 

about how long do u think before they are broke in completely

 

Get Trush glasspacks. Trust me. You will not be disappointed with them. They cost from $29-higher. People will be asking you, why is yer truck so loud? They've asked me that- lol and I just said...I got them Thrush Glasspacks.

 

hey could you tell me where i could pick those up at?

 

yer local advance auto parts. That's where I got mine. Spent like 29-30 bucks for it. Sounds like a WWI plane, it's the bomb.

 

sweet man thanks ill do that

 

I had glasspacks for a couple of years. After a while they will break in and get louder. I recently removed my glasspacks and went with Borla, because the GP's were to loud.

 

Tell me when you get em. They are huge usually. Tell me when you start driving with em and tell me what you think.

 

alright man no prob i will i gotta get a paycheck first lol

 

thats what i want to hear i want them LOUD

 

what kind of engine do you have? Mine are loud for a 4 cylinder and if you have a bigger motor in yer truck...hahahahah, oh man....Good luck...you will need it. "DISTURBING THE PEACE"

 

^^Nah.. it isn't that loud. I had one in place of my muffler, with some bends and it was out the back. Didn't like it, so i ran it open from the factory muffler spot with a glass pack. Stuff happened, and i ended up cutting the reducer piece that has the flange on it right after the last cat, off and went up in size and i've been running a Thrush GP on it for quite some time,Dumped under the cab. it isn't that loud. I've heard full cat back's on ranger that sound louder. Try it out, maybe you'll like it.

 

you could try strait pipes. tht what i have on mine and it is loud and i dont even have glass packs............yet.

 

so you are saying that v6's won't get as loud as a 4banger?

 

my buddies 4.0 with straights is quieter then my 4 banger with a flowmaster
