Sounds like that would be the best choice unless someone has other ideas.  From the diagram on the website they should not create much resistance.

The Cherry Bomb Extreme mufflers look like a good choice to me.  The body is 
nly six inches long.

 All,
 The new engine is in and running pretty good, but not perfect.   With 550 
 HP+,
 the current thinking is that my GTS headers / muffler set  up isn't big 
 enough
 to let it breath at the higher RPM's.  I have  secured Big Throat headers 
 from
 PI, and now am on a quest for a good set  of Mufflers to match.  Turns out 
 this
 is a pretty difficult decision, as the SOUND  is pretty important to me 
 and I
 probably won't have a chance to hear  them before buying. Obviously, 
 performance
 is the most important, but  the last thing I want is to end up sounding 
 like a
 tractor or, heaven  forbid, a Viper.


 So, I ask for your help.  What would match a high output stroked Cleveland
 engine with sound that will make the DeTomaso community proud?  (BTW, i 
 LOVED
 the GTS sound and  look on the previous, mostly stock engine).  I really 
 don't
 know the  entire solution space, so any info on what I should / shouldn't 
 be
 looking for would be helpful too. Options that are currently being 
 considered
 are:

 1) Big Throat Mufflers (see: http://www.pim.net/862009Muffler4.jpg). 
 These
 certainly are not conventional with the two pipes, but do have an 
 extremely
 nice look.  and I like the option to angle them up (like the  GTS mufflers 
 do).
 Anyone running these? any comments on look / sound?

 2) Borla - someone said "check Borla".  So I did at www.borla.com.  Not a 
 lot of
 info there, so not sure what would be a good match.


 3) Magnaflow - they have a nice oval with single inlet, dual outlet. (see:
 http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=8686).   The
 description says that it is meant for imports with mainly bolt on 
 performance
 enhancers, so I'm a little scared of this one.  Also, there  are a half a 
 dozen
 options around the tips, how does that affect sound /  performance? anyone 
 have
 direct experience with Magnaflow that can  recommend something?


 4) Cherry Bombs - Richard Boschert has the Extremes on his stroked Windsor 
 and
 they look and sound great. Plus they have a great video
 (http://www.cherrybomb.com/)

 Sure appreciate your help and advice!!
