    Glass packs on a 6cyl sounds like a big elephant fart! Use a quiet Flowmaster or Dynomax and it will sound good.

    The Comet does, but the Maverick( that we bought from Jamie aka 69 in 1/2) has a 170 with no muffler.

    In my OPINION, Six cylinders and especially four cylinders should be seen and NOT heard.

    Seriously, glasspacks are CHEAP. $15, maybe $25. Just buy one in the 18" range, and use cheap flexible exhaust hose from autozone for $7, comes with clamps. and for $30 total, you can clamp it on and try it out. See if you like it or not. If you don't like it, you don't lose much. If you do like it, pay a little more and have it professionally installed with permanent bent pipe.

    I don't know how it compares to the smaller six's but I've got a 2 chamber Flowmaster on my truck with the 300 and it sounds pretty darn good in my opinion, especially for an I6.

    I've also got a small flowmaster on my 200 it sounds just like a six cylinder should sound.........sounds kinda good to me! I guess I'm kind of biased to inlines!

    if u like the way a glasspack sounds go for it. wit a glass pack on a 250 i6 2.25 inch pipe sounds best. had that on my old 250, gave it a nice rumble like a v8
