[DeTomaso] Muffler Options

[Pantdino]

So there is no baffling or sound deadening at all?
Aren't they crazy loud?

Brent, 
After reading the comments from Dan Jones about mufflers giving up 50hp due to 
low restrictions I started looking at 2.5" & 3.0" inlet
mufflers from MagnaFlow. They make 2.5" and 3" inlet with dual 2.5" outlets 
ith bodies that should to fit where the mufflers go on Pantera. The body
of the muffler is 8-9" wide, oval about 5 " thick and 14" long. They should 
low plenty for your stroked motor, especially if you go with the 3" inlet. 
Below is a link to one of 3" inlet version as an example. I saw a MagnaFlow 
hat was slightly different but can't find the link...I'll look a bit more and 
send it to you if I find it. I've see these mufflers in stainless for under 
50-60 per muffler...once you add the tips and some labor you for snaking the
tubes from the headers back to the mufflers, you should still be at a pretty 
easonable cost if you went with the 3"...check the vendor that is making
 the new trunk liner(Curt?), I read he has the 3" tubing pre-made...I recall 
is first name is Curt?

I know it is tricky getting a 3" tube to route through the suspension/half 
haft space. But that would seem to give you the best flow possible. Then to get 
he Pantera look
 just have a set of angled chrome tips welded on. I found some nice large 
iameter tips on ebay from a manufacturer that should look very nice, they were 
about $40 for a set of four and are very good quality.

Best Regards,
 
Tom
