Hey, doesn't hurt to ask... but care to explain as to why? I understand glasspacks spark a lot of drama for a book-full of reasons, but in terms to sound, they do a heck of a job on muscled v8's... would this "job" translate to a VQ v6?

Hell yes it does! A simple muffler delete and straight pipes makes the VQ sound pretty damn impressive for the price (and sacrifice lol)! But would it be the same with glasspacks? To find somebody who actually installed one on their 370z, would be quite helpful.

Also pass inspection without issue. They don't do a sniffer test here just make sure you don't throw codes or clear them before inspection.

Per everyone else's comments No to glass packs and consider HFC vs straight pipe if you are in a county that might be stricter on emissions.
Has your Z thrown any codes after the muffler delete? I plan to only delete the muffler and straight pipe the two remaining tips, so basically stock... think I'll run into any codes?
