Best Answer

White smoke from the exhaust is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. This can be caused by a blown head gasket or a cracked head. STOP driving this vehicle and have it repaired ASAP. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue the run this engine, even for a short time.

Do glass pack mufflers pass emissions?

The muffler doesn't have much to do with emissions. Some jurisdictions prohibit glass packs for noise reasons, but the exhaust going into the muffler is pretty much chemically identical to that going out. If a vehicle doesn't pass the emissions test with a glass pack muffler, it almost certainly wouldn't have passed with any other type of muffler either.
