Flat Mufflers

In the world of dual exhaust the other option rather than round glasspack mufflers are flat mufflers. Flat mufflers have a totally different sound all together, which personally I like better. Flat mufflers usually have welded Baffles and the sound is much deeper and has a nice rumble to it, so if you like a deep, performance rumble, Flat mufflers are for you.

Glasspack Mufflers

Glasspack mufflers are a kind of automobile muffler in which the exhaust gas passes straight through the center of the muffler. Packed fibreglass surrounds the exhaust channel and absorbs some of the high-frequency sound.Glasspacks are an old, simple, and relatively inexpensive design. They are very effective at reducing back pressure, but not very effective at muffling noise, they preserve more of the engine's power while sounding louder than conventional mufflers.

Tint laws

Although tint makes a car look so much better than stock, there are some laws, that the police love to enforce. The law for most provinces is that you cant have tinted front windows. This is disappointing, because my car especially has large front windows and I wish I could tint them. The tint laws are as followed:

Canadian Automotive Tint Laws
The laws regarding window film vary from province to province. The following are a summation of the laws in each province:

The net figures that are allowed are enforced at plus or minus 5%.

Tint

There is nothing better than looking at a window and not being able to see in, it just completes the look of a car, it can make a old car look new, it gives privacy, while protecting your interior from fading. there is all kinds of percentage of tint, and the percentage is the light that goes through the tint. The darkest and best looking is 2.5%
