 Each one is about 18" long. I like the sound it makes. Any of the "Swag"
want to 'pipe' in?? 
I've a 1275, Kent 276 Cam, Lcb header, and stock carbs.

Thanks for the quick response...
how long is each glasspack?
I noticed at the shop, they had various lengths.
He also had a thing he called a 'turbo tube' that was about 2&1/2'-3' in 
length, that looked like it would do a good job. No baffles, interior 
similar to the hot dogs.
So do you get a nice note from yours? What engine and stage of tune do you 
run?
Andy
