Default glasspack question

Ok this is going to sound dumb, but my exhaust got destroyed by a speed bump and Im awaiting shipping on an entire new system. But in the mean time my car is open header and I kind of need a car to get to school and work.

I was thinking if I clamped two 31" glasspacks in a row directly off of the header will it quiet down my exhaust a noticeable amount?

I just need to be able to drive it easy in the day temporarily without it being as obnoxiously loud as open header until I my parts come in. Its a b16.

Open to other suggestions as well, I just need it to be dirt cheap and something I can pick up asap.

It will quiet it down some some. glasspacks are loud no matter what though. why not buy 1 cheap muffler instead? pep boys 20 dollar special.

I dont have any piping, basically the old exhaust fell off and got wrapped up like a straw lol

I tried to attach a muffler directly to the header but its too big

I wouldn't waste the time/money with the glasspack.. Just wait for your new exhaust to come in.

The answer is yes, it will quiet the car down some, but it will still be loud. as a temporary fix, i would find a muffler with a similar size inlet, and clap it to the header.
