Default Glasspack or Muffler?

Which is better for power and sound for my 2.3L Glasspacks or muffler.

Yeah I went with the glass pack D: it does not sound to good, its like a ricer. but you know I was strapped for cash and the og one had about a four inch hole in, and the glass pack was like 20$. I am definitely going flowmaster 40 when I get the extra money.

I have a glass pack's on mine and a buddy of mine has the same mod's as me except he has a flowmaster, his sound's way better, but when it come's to us racing, I blow by him every time. He say's that when he is riding in my car he notice's the power band kicking in quicker than on his. His doesn't keep up with mine at all. But if you want sound go with flowmaster. Better yet hollow out the cat too.

Also flowmaster's have a pretty good warrentee to them. But they also cost alot more.
