[DeTomaso] Looking for a right side GTS header

[Mike Drew]

Chuck,

Presumably your car has stock mufflers. Only Hall Big Bore headers will fit stock mufflers, and despite looking dubious, Dan Jones’ testing has revealed that Hall headers are really quite good. 

If you wish to transition to GTS headers, necessarily that means buying new GTS mufflers too.  So be careful what you wish for!

It seems GTS headers are no longer available new from the traditional source (Hall). At least, they aren’t listed on the website any longer. It’s possible other vendors may have them on the shelf. GTS mufflers are still available from Hall however. 

I think the best headers for GTS mufflers are PI Big Throat/Mind Train, or Hedmann from Pantera Parts Connection. Factory GTS headers (which I have on my car) have pipes that are too big and a collector that is too small...l

If I can find an orphan *right* side header then voila!  I can replace the  Hall Big Bore Headers on Pantera Two.   If not, then I have got a left spare for Pantera One.
