[DeTomaso] Borla mufflers

[Curt Hall]

I sent OBX Muffler a email over a week ago! No answer? I also went on line and read some comments from people that had them on there cars...the comments were not so go? Most said, they were good at first, then after awhile they said, the packing blew out and they go LOUD? But they look good.
 
Your mileage may very? Each to they there own.
Good Luck

Hey Asa Jay,
When you get it all sorted out, I'd really like a set of 2 1/2" inlet 
mufflers
with dual outlets at least 1 3/4" in diameter so they're not just 
restrictors.
Of course I'd like them to be as quiet/load as my ANSAs, so I don't want 
toooo much.
thanks for the free lift.

PS
I went all through that vendor's site and through the OBX site and 
couldn't find the throat diameter of the oulets.
I did leave a question, but I don't have any idea about the loudness and 
the Borla reviews are mixed at best.
