Answer
Jonathan-

  A glasspack would be easy enough to get from just about any muffler shop.  What I would do (if your area doesn't have emissions testing) is replace the catalytic converter with a glaspack and then put something like a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler on the end.  The glasspack will act like a resonator and make the sound a bit deeper and it'll still be fairly loud.  I have a friend with this setup on a V6 Ranger and it sounds a lot better than most trucks I hear.  If you just want a glasspack, Thrush still makes some good ones...or at least as good as glasspacks can get in my personal opinion.  Hope this helps.
