Were do you put a glass pack muffler on truck?

Glasspack mufflers are typically installed in the exhaust system of a truck, typically between the catalytic converter and the rear axle. The exact location may vary depending on the specific make and model of the truck, but it is typically installed in the exhaust pipe somewhere between the engine and the rear of the vehicle.

Here is a general guide on how to install a glasspack muffler on a truck:

1. Park your truck in a safe and well-ventilated area. Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent the truck from rolling.

2. Locate the exhaust pipe on your truck. It is usually a metal pipe that runs from the engine to the rear of the vehicle.

3. Choose a location for the glasspack muffler. It should be installed in a straight section of the exhaust pipe, away from any bends or curves.

4. Cut the exhaust pipe where you want to install the glasspack muffler. Use a hacksaw or a pipe cutter to make a clean, straight cut.

5. Insert the glasspack muffler into the exhaust pipe. Make sure that the muffler is facing the correct direction. The inlet of the muffler should be facing the engine, and the outlet should be facing the rear of the vehicle.

6. Secure the glasspack muffler to the exhaust pipe using exhaust clamps. Tighten the clamps until they are snug.

7. Start your truck and check for exhaust leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the exhaust clamps until the leaks are stopped.

Once the glasspack muffler is installed, you may notice a difference in the sound of your truck's exhaust. Glasspack mufflers typically produce a louder, more aggressive sound than traditional mufflers.
