Sorry, but there's nothing you can do.   180-degree exhausts on a Pantera 
sound like a VW Beetle with a shop rag stuck in the mouth of one carburetor, 
until you rev it up above about 4500 rpm.

So, drive around in 2nd and 3rd gear and love the wail (they do sound great 
up there), or drive normally and live with the fact that you are acoustically 
driving a glorified Karmann-Ghia....
