Seats.
I believe they're called GT Classic. They have nice DeTomaso logo on head rests. They move back and forth and the back can go forward, so no need to remove seats to get to front of engine.

I think they look good, but I never got comfortable in them, because I'm too long, I prefer to sit with legs stretched, resting on seat pad, and I'm probably a sensitive old man. Normal drigin it's not an issue, but going to Le Mans, sitting there for hours, didn't have enough room. They're a bit thicker, both seat and back, compared to orig, so there's less room both for legs and head. I could fit..., but I was not comfortable being 188 cm tall. I think they're perfect for medium height people. You shouldn't be too wide either, because they really grab your back and keep you in one place

Note on modifications made to make them fit a Pantera (it's now a bolt-in):
-Grab handles to release seat back cut off and welded on at different angle to clear thick carpet
-Inner seat back rake adjustment wheel cut off to leave room for: Driver, my ICE ignition boxes. Passenger, hand brake
-Have taken a bit of metal and cushion out of the seat and back. In that process I accidently cut a hole in the back, thankfully where it's least visible

Mufflers are 3 chamber Flowmasters. They're the least restriction muffler out there AFAIK. But they're also quite noisy. In a good way, sounds very very powerful, but in my country having that noise level on the street is asking for trouble. Note that a piece has been cut off the corners and welded shut (rear outer corners in this picture), that makes room for 335 rear tires.

Mikael, those stock 2-piece seats are the "good" ones- stronger than the later one-piece type, and by slotting the back strap holes, they can be made adjustable for rake- a little anyway. If you cut the back-strap holes into full slots and add knobs on the stock allen bolt heads, by hand-loosening the knobs, the stock seat-backs will tilt away from the firewall too. They also position you lower in the car than any aftermarket seats. I'm 6'2" and I fit ours with a helmet on.
