Glasspacks are nice till you go for a long drive. Especially in a small
car. The constant noise seems to drown out your Radio, and tends to become
deafening. I have put glasspacks on all my vehicles since I was a kid. It
is not too bad on my old pickup truck, but on the Roadster it's a bit much.
At my age I am leaning for the quiet ride. I can hear if something is
acting up in my vehicle also.
