[DeTomaso] My idea for mufflers - Update

[Chance Dorsey]

I had some time to work on my muffler idea this weekend.  I started off by 
cutting open the single muffler that I had.  Here is what I found:

I then welded a stainless cap and inlet on this open side and ended up with 
this:

The next step is welding the angled tips on as soon as I get the parts in.

I also plan to paint them with a satin black high temp paint and leave the 
tips polish similar to the originals.

Hopefully they'll sound good and won't kill the hp.

Thanks,

Chance
