What Mufflers to use

Steve:

I saw this Pantera which, if I recall correctly was equipped with 180s, pull into the parking lot at the hotel in Monterey in 2006, and I swear it sounded like a WWII bomber radial engine. I felt the sound in my chest. Just wicked.

I never did get to meet the owner, but I know the car was featured in either POCA Profiles or PI International magazine, so somebody is bound to recognize it and, hopefully, post information about the owner here for you.

I would track them down and ask them about the mufflers they used, because the sound is unforgettable.

Im only seeing the top 20% of the picture. Is this only on my computer?

me either. This is one of my favorite sounding 180 cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCsbkoPoASQ

Try these or something like them. Just weld a flange on to mount to the collectors.

Steve,

Have a look at the third message down on this page:

It's by Kelly Coffield and he has some interesting thoughts on mufflers for 180's. If Kelly say's the ones he decided to use are good, I'd suggest they're probably excellent, knowing Kelly. The fact that they're easily re-packable is a huge added benefit.

As far as the muffs, the quality is excellent and they are very light weight. I can't attest to sound level yet but I expect them to be similar to my SPF GT40 which is fine by me but I suspect might be a little objectionable for some. There is a dual pass version which fits the same space and is also repackable that would have lower sound levels. I have my tail pipe extensions turned down which also helps a bit. They fit my available space well but are pretty pricey as far as mufflers go but packed with scrubble instead of glass they'll be a life of vehicle muffler albeit slightly heavier than glass only packing.

Best,
Kelly
