My chrome exhaust tips have a 'silencer' in them, as I saw on the GTS feature on the cover of "Pantera International', Fall, 1999, No. 100 (you can't really see them on that photo, and the photos featured in the article don't show up real well, but in a later issue of P.I. when this same vehicle was advertized at $75,000.00, there was a better photo of the RED INSERTS in the tips of the exhausts on that Silver/Black GTS (by the way, this is a thing that I liked when I decide to buy the car, if I'm Hauling A**, I don't want to advertize that, it's my thrill, not to display disrespect for law abiding citizens, ha ha ha, but true....)

Anyway, to get a better idea of what I'm describing, on the inside back cover of that same P.I.Issue, is a Red Group IV, from Australia, bottom right photo. You can see the 'silencer inserts' this guy's got too. (Guess he likes to Haul A** w/o getting tickets too!!!! And, max speed across the Australian Outback would be a GREAT place to do it too, like in that car, or mine, or yours, or any Pantera!)

How the heck does a guy get those out? Could just grind off the spot welds at the Chrome extensions I guess. Know what I'm trying to do now?

I like the idea of changing the tone of the exhausts a little with the 'hole in the baffles' technique and I think I remember reading your tips on that long ago in P.I. as well, but didn't recall 'til you just said it.... Sort of like hitting a different note on the Baritone Saxaphone while the towel is still covering the outlet, so as not to bother the neighbors, but still get the pleasure of the music....

I'm enjoying this whole Pantera thing, including the Pantera People, greatly!!!
