Default Glasspack idea???

After looking at a glasspack in my hand i got an idea. Being that it is only a straight pipe with little "Scoops" to pull in some exhaust into the packing, could you install it backwards to let the exhaust flow better and make it louder?
And i cant run straight pipes because it wont pass inspection without a muffler

Turning them around probably would make them a little louder but if a glasspacks would pass inspection and you want it straight why not just get a set of Loudmouth I's. They don't have any packing at all inside them.

Get whatever muffler you want and just run a cut-out.

Sound and/or flow wont change much when reversing it.

I agree nothing will change much but in my experience, reversing it gives it a slightly louder tone, however once all the packing burns out, it's a crap shoot.

Well what about burning all the packing out by pouring lighter fluid and burning it. Then put it on backwards??? I dont think it would hurt anything would it?
