Guest cccapt42 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am about to buy an exhaust system for my model 61, anybody have any recomendations, or advice. Les Monn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelsBuicks Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've been giving this some thought and there are a couple things that come to mind. I assume you're looking at an original style muffler. First, make sure you get the tailpipe out there well past the body. I've heard that the trunk seal and fuel filler area may not be that well sealed and prone to allowing exhaust in the cabin. The other thing is to consider a heat reflecting shield around the muffler. I am using a dynamat like material on my floor and I don't want it to get all melty from the heat - just something to consider. As far as a supplier goes, I have no idea but there may be some folks around here that will make a recommendation. Wish I could be more help.

Guest cccapt42 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thank you for your reply, my concern is I have read where some people were not happy with the exhaust tone of some systems, and yes, I would like to use an original style muffler. Just looking for some one who bought a system from Kepich, Waldron or Classic and was happy with the results. I do have a NORS AP muffler I bought at Hershey 35 years ago.

Guest outlaw car man Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I had bought a exhaust from Waldron, for one of my 1933 Buick series 90, seven passenger sedan. Was happy with the results. " BIG" muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trp3141592 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi,Bought stainless from Kepich for the Cord 812. Quite happy. You need stainless menders and hangers (easily obtained from Jegs, Summit racing, or Ebay for that matter) rather than shrink clamps.--Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I bought a Waldron muffler for my 38 special and it fit perfectly and I believe it sounds like an original (I was not around in 1938). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
