PI Stainless Mufflers

Swen, I have the P.I. SS Mufflers on my Panther. They are Beautiful works of art!(be sure to tell the worker to 'Face' the one seam, down the side, 'Inwards', so as not to be seen). They sound 'Deep Throated', but are a little on the 'Quiet Side' for the tastes of most Pantera enthusiasts. After all, they are Brand-New. After aproximately 2000-3000 Miles; They 'Seem' to be getting a 'little' louder. The total cost of a pair of custom bent Head-pipes(All One-Piece), welding, and mounting; and they had to weld on 'Mounting Tabs' to the mufflers' tube; was $200. I always like to quote George Peppard, from one scene of the past TV show 'The A Team': "When You pay Peanuts...You end up Hireing a Bunch of Monkeys". Good-Luck with it!

Thanks for the reply Jack. Did you have the pipes made from stainless or just aluminized steel? Also, did you need to supply the muffler guy with stock Pantera hangers or did he have what was needed?

I am undergoing a similar task with the 5.4 Pantera. I have a stock sized exhaust on there now but the pipes are a pathetic 1 7/8" so I bout some stainless angled tubes and stainless collectors from JC Whitney and a pair of stainless straight through mufflers from ebay. The angles are all there it just all has to be welded together and the mounting tabs put on and I will have a fre-breathin 2 1/2" all stainless exhaust. I can't wait!

Hey Swen I see you're in Livingston. I am originally from Newark. I miss hanging out at Short Hills Mall.

As I'm writing this, I'm looking out my 19th floor window over the LOVELY Passaic River in Newark! Post some pics when U get the exhaust done. Now that I have a Pantera, I can't AFFORD to "hang" at the Short Hills Mall!

With your Pantera you can still look cool cruising the parking lot with all the vipers, porsches, and ferrarris.

Yeah...but you have to worry about the soccer Moms in their Hummer H2s (and othet OVERSIZE SUVs) running the stop sign at the VALET PARKING area and t-boning the Pantera!
