Chad,
As Kevin said, it's a muffler that's packed with fiberglass to absorb sound. Beyond that, these days it's not a very useful term.
30 years ago when most cars had baffled mufflers, people would install a glasspack ("Cherry Bomb" was a popular brand) to increase performance. And the selection of glasspacks was pretty limited.
Nowadays, many cars come with straight-through fiberglass packed mufflers from the factory. And there are a multitude of them available on the aftermarket, all different shapes and sizes and with different noise characteristics.
So today, "replacing your muffler with a glasspack" could mean almost anything.
