Glasspack

glasspack is a straight through tube with perforations, surrounded by a larger diameter tube. The space between the perforated inner tube (which is the same diameter as your normal exhaust pipe, usually) and the outer tube, is filled with fiberglass batting (like insulation).

All the fiberglass does is absorb a little bit of the higher pitched sounds. Otherwise, it's damn loud. You would use a glasspack in place of a muffler, or in the focus, you could use it in place of the resonator (the box the tailpipe exits from), retaining your muffler (which is near the middle of the car), or you could replace the muffler in the middle of the car with a glasspack and run straight pipe out the back.
