[DeTomaso] OBX Mufflers

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I'd figure on cutting them right where they bend up.  Just hack off the 
bent-up part, turn the whole thing over and viola!  Done.

I just can't bring myself to go down that road yet.  I'd want to make 
sure the cut was real good.

>> They are the SAME mufflers PI sells for $150 apiece - same muffler, box, packaging, etc. The only difference is that PI's mufflers don't have the OBX tag, which apparently pulls their value down by $100. :D  And, these are the muffler that are now notoriously difficult to find.
