[DeTomaso] Muffler Options

What am I missing here?
A hollow muffler and tips with no baffles or sound deadening would logically no longer have any quieting effect.

Why not just use a straight pipe with those multi-disc adjustable mufflers racers use when track regulations require it?

hen I gutted my GTS Mufflers, I had to cut off the tips to get them  to 
oint out straight so they would fit under my L Bumper. When I cut  them, the 
affles slipped right out. That still leaves the two pipes with all  the 
oles in them that are inside the muffler and come out the back that  the tips 
o over. I'm guessing that removing these pipes and enlarging the holes  
lightly would get back a lot more of the HP from a regular gutted GTS Muffler. 
You'd then have to weld on the tips but overall it would not be all that 
ore  difficult.

 attached a picture that only Mike will get.

oment, but if I ever found myself wanting more,  I'd probably go 
hopping for aftermarket tips to weld onto the back of my  ANSA mufflers 
n place of the factory tips.  A same-size outside  diameter with a much 
arger inside diameter would be just the ticket for  greatly improved  
low.
