[DeTomaso] Fw: PI Headers and Mufflers

[Ed Pike]

Those are the ones on my car. 
2.5 inch inlet as opposed to the e bay ones with a 2.0 inch inlet that's why I went with them. I wanted to make sure the engine could breathe and would rather be a little oversized than undesized. Here are a few pictures of my car with the mufflers on.

Ed & Art
Are these PI mufflers you're talking about the ones with the ends of the
tips bent up... like someone dropped them? the ones on PI's site currently?
I'd like to use something less restrictive than ANSAs too, but would like
tips that look closer to stock. Even ebay item 200278754406 looks better.
They are shorter and smaller, but maybe they're junk? No idea what they'd
sound like. Please keep us informed on your muffler progress. I also have a
pre-L, so the same issues as you and Dan Jones says I can't use such a nasty
cam unless I improve my mufflers. 8<(
