There is a "final baffle" installed in most stock Ansa mufflers that can, with a little care, be cheaply removed to increase noise & gas flow about equally. Stick a long pipe into each chrome tailpipe; inside, it will run into a common steel washer tack-welded onto the perforated baffle. By judiciously whacking the end of the pipe, the washer can be broken loose or bent out of the way of exhaust gas flow. This happens automatically on some Panteras. If the washer breaks loose, it will 'jingle' at idle but be covered by engine noise at driving speeds. If the jingle bothers you, you'll have to slice open the muffler body & extract the loose washer. On my '72, two of the 4 washers were broken when I received the car with 13,000 miles. Note this baffle-washer is not there on real 'GTS' mufflers, which your 'Euro' Pantera may have as-stock.
