[DeTomaso] Ansa

Correct. Ansa still makes the system and Hall has exclusive rights. 

Interesting story though. 

When I first bought my Pantera L, I wanted to get a GTS system for it. About 6 years ago I decided to place the order directly from Ansa as I had a dealer account through Alfa Romeo for Ansa US. So I called Ansa and placed an order for the correct GTS mufflers which they had in stock. 

A few days later I got a call back from Ansa saying they couldn't fulfill the order because Hall had exclusive rights for all Ansa Pantera systems in the US. So I thought no big deal, I'll just call Hall and place the order. 

I was stunned, it was something like 700% markup compared to the price Ansa had quoted. After having been an Ansa dealer for over 10 years I was absolutely floored at what Hall was making on the Ansa systems

I'm all about supporting small businesses and local suppliers but to me that was highway robbery. 100%, 200% I can get, but that was over the top. 

Since then I haven't ordered anything from Hall.

Paul,

They most certainly do. Hall Pantera is their exclusive distributor. Other venders buy them from Hall. The tips are improved over the original version but otherwise they are the same.
