Hi Todd,

Glass packs are usually a straight through muffler with some holes in the tube in it - what you need is a proper baffled muffler.

I've never liked glasspacks because they don't stay consistent - the matting inside first gets matted down doing nothing, then it disintegrates and gets blown out. (They sound good when new though usually)

Check out getting a baffled muffler that will fit in the space instead, and you'll be miles ($$$) ahead than OEM. I've used baffled mufflers that "looked" like glasspacks, but they are larger in diameter and when you look through them you can't see out the other side due to the offset tubes inside.

Since you have all three mufflers, there's really no improvement in performance to go with a high end performance one - so look at a decently built one that hopefully is welded 16ga steel - they last pretty long and are substantially better than the crappy rolled edge ones.
