Sounds like your exhaust system might be toast though.   The Hawaiian 
climate is not very Pantera-friendly. :<(

Patch it together and take it to your friendly custom hot-rod muffler shop 
and see what they say.   If it's too expensive, it shouldn't be hard to find 
good, used, stock muffler assemblies.   And I can probably hand-carry them 
to you to save the freight.   I'm going to Hawaii again (I think) sometime 
around June 3rd.

Or, you might go all the way and buy one of Wilkinson's fantastic stainless 
steel copies of the factory GTS system.   The price is fantastic, and the 
offer to hand-deliver still holds there too.   (I've already taken two such 
systems to Tokyo a few months ago...)
