FWIW, Phil, I had the same problem with the single glasspack installed by a
local muffler shop on TS39781LO. I found that adding a downturned chrome
tip greatly reduced both the apparent noise, and the incidence of setting
off car alarms. Still would set them off occasionally, when in a parking
garage or something that would resonate.
When I took TS13571L back to the same place, I asked for a quieter system
and he installed a second, smaller glass pack behind the rear axle; just
like the factory did originally. The sound is now just perfect, IMO.
Price and hassle factor were very attractive as well, cost me about $180
with tax and installation; installed in about an hour. That's only from the
headpipe back, as the headpipe itself was in good condition.
