[DeTomaso] Borla mufflers

[wkooiman at earthlink.net]

I had Borla XR-1s and 3" pipes for quite a while.  They were louder than stock, but not as loud as Mind Trains (my opinion).  I liked them a lot.

The XR-1s fit the Pantera really well.  They do not have the original style of 2 tips per muffler, but they look great with a slash cut extension.
