"a tolerable amount of noise out"
That's an oxymoron for a Pantera.

FWIW, I think that trying to build a muffler system by eye, without
experience, is futile. You're trying to modify a pair of existing mufflers
the size
of kid's lunchboxes, run 400+ bhp worth of exhaust & noise thu them and get
a tolerable amount of noise out the ends along with extra horsepower.
Factories spend months on the dyno with myriad designs doing this. I hope
you're
lucky but it sounds like there's a clean-sheet-of-paper design in the future
for this project... or (easier) Magneflows with siliencer tips. Which is
what I'll be using since I outgrew the noisy muffler thing in high school.
Good luck all- J Deryke
