Re: glasspacks
If it's of any help amid the plethora of glasspacks, the Smithys are not very loud, but have a very nice mellow rumble. My pick if you want a nice mellow sound. If you want a bit louder and more "hotrod" then Porters are beautiful. A little bit of snarl. My pick for louder packs. I have no experience of Brockmans, so do not know where they sit.
Remember that pipe size in, pipe size out, and where in the pipe the muffler is situated all determines the sound. The good thing is that you can quieten them down if they're too loud by situating them closer to the engine, plus using a smaller tail pipe. And vice versa if too quiet.
Also remember that a rappy exhaust is OK around town, but may drive you nuts on a long trip.
