Chike, I had no resonation without it or with it. My complaint is that it dulled the sound down too much and lost it's hotrod edge. A glasspack installed forwards or reversed should not effect flow in any way as they are nothing but a straight, baffleless tube inside a larger tube. The inner tube has tiny "louvers" that capture the flow on the pipe walls and allow some sound to enter the outer chamber to muffle the sound slightly. They say that if you reverse it so the louvers do not catch the exaust you will not see a reduction in sound emissions. From my recent experience this is not the case.

I just wanted to provide input on going either way since I have experienced both and much prefer it without a glasspack. I never noticed any resonation issue in my exaust either way. It still sounds nastier than the stock SVX but not at all like a muscle car like it did.
