[DeTomaso] Exhaust question

[The DeTomaso Registry Guy]

There are a few cars in the registry that show an X-pipe.  I'm told on more
than one car, it eliminated the resonance.

>>>Yes, but the realities of the Pantera chassis preclude the fitment of an 
effective crossover.   It needs to be located relatively close to the 
collectors to be effective.   Mind Train offered one that went behind the
rear 
sway bar (as an option) but it's never been demonstrated to have any effect 
other than adding weight.

On the other hand, I can tell you from personal experience that adding a 
crossover to my GT350 clone knocked a few DB off the noise signature and
made 
it quieter inside.   I can't honestly say I could tell any performance 
change though.
