I don't think the power loss is due to the muffer, but the excessively long primary header pipes. They look neat, but the collector should be closer to the valve for correct scavenging, and more importantly, the original look would be compromised. This could be partially circumvented by going with the correct header arrangement, then dumping the header into the collection of original primaries inside the fender as has been done on a lot of Cobras.
