>>Brent, 
>>After reading the comments from Dan Jones about mufflers giving up 50hp due to flow 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 with 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 flow 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 that 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 reasonable 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 his first name is Curt?

>>I know it is tricky getting a 3" tube to route through the suspension/half shaft space. But that would seem to give you the best flow possible. Then to get the Pantera look
>> just have a set of angled chrome tips welded on. I found some nice large diameter 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.
