glasspack? Options

[Punisher]

Ya so I'm running 3" turbo back.. with a flowmaster 50 series muff.. over axle .. 3" cat.

Too loud.. I mean just idling on the street infront of my house and my front door vibrates.. you can hear the exhaust from anywhere in the house.. even the back of the basement.. it's not ricey at all.. it's just really really deep grumbling sound... I'd like to cut the idle noise down by atleast a third.. but not restrict exhaust flow.

3" in/out glass pack... Think this will tone the decibles down or what?

Should I place it close to the engine as possible or close to the muffler as possible?

I have two 2.5" glasspacks on my Camry (3rd gen 3s-gte) as the only mufflers... 3" downpipe, 2.5" mandrel bent from there back with an 18" and 24" long glasspacks. It almost sounds like a boat exhaust (burbling through water). Its not quiet, but it is not super loud.

I'd say a glasspack will reduce the volume a fair amount, but a large Magnaflow resonator (the biggest you can find/fit) would be better for sound quality and flow. Another option (for more money) is two different size resonators to kill more sound - each one will quiet a certain tone of the exhaust.

You can have a decently quiet exhaust that flows well - you just have to put a lot of muffler volume in there to do it.
