[DeTomaso] Magnaflow Exhaust for Pantera

[David Nunn]

Some long-time Pantera owners may recall Borla built a Pantera system
(headers and mufflers) about 20 years ago. The Pantera they brought in to
build the prototype system on, had a Hall Big Bore system on it. Borla said
it was the worst "production" exhaust system they had ever seen on any car
of any type! They insisted on basing their system on one of their
off-the-shelf muffler cans. They felt making custom cans would push the
price too high. If I recall, the system retailed for around $1,500. The
system looked OK, even though the muffler can was too long, and sounded
great but Borla discontinued it after one production run. Since it was made
from stainless steel, the price was still too high for most Pantera owners
and just about every one they sold had fitment issues. It seems Borla didn't
anticipate the variations from car to car. They naively thought if it fit
one Pantera, it would fit all Panteras. They also didn't anticipate all the
"whining" about the price, so they scrapped the whole project after about
six months.
