[DeTomaso] Quella SS mufflers

[Ken Green]

Regarding mufflers, years ago I had a 67 435HP (probably more like 500) Corvette.  I put a Hooker side exhaust system on it and went with the quieter muffler option.  This change was along with several others, cam etc., so it was not isolated.  When the engine just starting making power, it felt like it just shut off, like a rev limiter. I did a bunch of stuff, looked at the carbs, etc, talked to the shop where I bought a lot of the parts, etc.  Finally, I ordered the gloriously noisy glass packs from Hooker, and that fixed everything.  I never imagined that restrictive mufflers could have that effect.

All,

 Dennis Quella at Pantera performance center in Colorado has his own stainless steel mufflers. They are priced as if they are made out of gold but they appear to be a better option than the restrictive GTS mufflers I currently am using. 

 I am looking for owners that may have already installed these mufflers on their car and seeking their feedback on noise levels, especially at highway cruising speeds.

I am also considering modifying the current GTS mufflers but I understand that  approach creates a pretty loud final product.

Would be wonderful if someone with Dennis' mufflers will be attending the fun rally later this month, as I could hear them in person.

Thanks,

Larry
