car?  I think that was Lee's car as you made an effort to point it out, and we
had Lee fire it up so I could get a listen.

>>>Yup, that's the one.

looked
great.  I took a photograph myself and I continue to look back on it and am
impressed.  I've been anxious to learn if Larry got all the bugs worked out.  
So
my question at this point is, if I buy a set, can I just bolt the pieces on?  
Or
am I in for some cutting and pasting?

>>>Well, he SAYS that it's a straight bolt-up affair.  I say your mileage may 
vary.  This isn't a slam against anyone; rather, ALL "bolt-on" exhaust 
systems (whether designed for a Pantera, or for a VW or a Mustang or 
whatever) usually need a bit of massaging to fit, just because of minor 
car-to-car differences.  He said he's bolted up several sets with no mods to 
cars in the Reno area thus far.
