[DeTomaso] Pantera headers and mufflers - Another source

[Will Kooiman]

The quietest option is to choose a cam with less overlap and make sure you
have vacuum advance on your distributor.  It also helps to use the
original Mustang style air filter with the snorkel inlet.

As far as mufflers go, I don't think you can get quieter than stock.
