raydurr Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Has anyone used the exhaust kits from Waldrons ? I am concerned with correct fit and ease of installation. How close are their kits to original muffler size etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I picked up a tail pipe for my '42 at their shop recently. Fit was right on and they were nice people. Took a tour of the shop and it was impressive. They have hundreds of NOS & NORS pipes as patterns plus all of the data they have compiled for their bending equipment. I spent my working career in a manufacturing environment and for a small shop like this, I was impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I got a complete stainless system from them for my '41 Roadmaster, and it is very good. The muffler seems to identical to the original, in shape, size and sound.Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I also bought just the muffler for my 38 Special and it fit perfectly. Edited January 23, 2015 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRB62 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I purchased a complete dual system from Waldrons for my '62. Must say it was a great copy of the original and only required minor adjustments to fit neatly. I fit the entire system myself in my garage. I chose a stainless system as I knew the car would be little used during the final stages of it's restoration, thinking it would be more durable and not likely to rust out. Alas, when the car was finished I found the entire bottom of the huge rear muffler was full of holes, with some also in one resonator. I discovered that the stainless muffler was full of carbon steel baffles that of course had rusted out and through the outer shell. Stainless exhausts are only ever made from low grade metal but using carbon steel baffles spot welded to it will promote rust. As I live too far away any warranty was useless to me. I would definitely recommend the Waldrons exhaust for fit and reproduction accuracy but maybe look at the aluminised steel system instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
