Looking at these pictures it seems that the inlet pipe into the muffler 
is really puny.

What diameter was that?

My GTS (GT5) exhaust has 2-3/8" pipes.

I think the collector is 2-1/2", and the primaries are 1-7/8".

I have contemplated gutting the mufflers, but first I'm planning to have 
a go with and without the mufflers on a dyno.

Btw, wasn't there one of the vendors (KRE?) that were doing a lot of 
dyno runs with different exhausts? What happened to that?
