Dear Chuck,
Based on Gerry Romack's report of success with his muffler mods and second hand reports from two or three other owners with similar success, I tried my hand at muffler surgery to stop the notorious drone from about 2000 to 2400 rpm.
I have the GTS mufflers. The process is pretty well illustrated in Gerry's tech article on the Great Lakes Panteras' website and I followed it. I may have been too compulsive and I found it slow and tedious to cut apart the internal components. It is do-able. I re-built the internal parts arrangement per Gerry, welded it up and re-installed them.
Despite Gerry's reported success and my high hopes, I found only mild to moderate success. The drone remains and seems a bit muted. Overall, outside of the drone range, the general exhaust noise seems reduced. I would not call it a major success.
I believe there may be another article about GTS muffler mods on the Space City Panteras website written years ago by David Bell.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
