[DeTomaso] Gutting 1972 Pre L stock exhaust

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I've heard a big block car with gutted mufflers and gutted resonators. The sound was very un-attractive.

> Has anyone gutted their stock exhaust?  I have seen the posts on Space City Pantera Club (Houston) and Pantera International on this procedure.  Both reference GTS exhaust.  The Space City post runs a "V" diverter at the exit to the tips while the PI post shows a "V" pipe welded in to each side of the tip.  I like the "V" pipe better because it will not have an "oil can" affect as it directs gasses out the tips.
