Reply to "How many mufflers?"

One would think the cats needed to be very close to the exhaust manifold to heat up adequately to function properly. However, Kirk Evans got the GT5Ss that he imported to pass EPA emissions with cats in place of the mufflers in the stock Pantera location. Granted, the Pantera exhaust system is not long to begin with. However, you brought back a terrific memory. Kirby Schrader had restored a Houston guy's Pantera GT5S for him and we did not realize the rear looking mufflers were actually catalytic converters. When the Pantera was started the interior of the cats began to glow reddish orange. As the exhaust tips were slightly larger in diameter and a bit shorter than stock, this glowing effect was clearly visible when following the car. We all (Space City Pantera members) thought that it was a super cool feature. Especially at night! I had pics on a previous computer that crashed. I would think Kirby has one or two; yet, I don't think he monitors this Forum.
