RIVNIK Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Waldron mufflers come in at least two different grades of sound. do you know which this one is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 You can open the outer shell and add sound absorbent material to quiet them to the level you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Do you happen to know how a person gets the outer shell open to change the interior packing, Bernie? Just curious. Thanks.

60FlatTop Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just cut a hole on the hidden top side and use a nibbler or snips to make as big an opening as needed. MIG it back when you are satisfied. I am planning to repair all my existing mufflers and pipes in the future if they rust or the stuffing compacts to make them louder. I never really thought about repairing exhaust parts until I began buying handmade mufflers that were too noisy, pipes without quite the right angles or too little flare on ball and socket models. Then I helped repair a Silver Cloud resonator that was claimed to have a $3,000 OEM replacement value. My parts were cheap but I found I was replacing well fitting parts with lesser fit or more noise. Funny, two days ago I decided to go back to stock (silent) exhaust on my '64 Riviera and this unit came up. I have an NOS muffler stored overhead and the two over the axle pipes I bought from you (John) hanging on the wall or I would have snapped this one advertised up. Timing was prefect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm going to pass on this muffler as I made an assumption re the specs that was not correct. This item is still for sale! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I got all my parts together and laid them out. I'm good to go with the NOS stuff I gathered up. That decision did just happen. Hopefully my plan to maintain and repair my existing systems works out. I have the Riviera job and I need to drop my Park Ave convertible system to weld up a small hole from "work by others". Judging from conditions of the systems I should be good for 10-15 years. On the long end of that the repair will have me pushing 90 years old. I look forward to fixing it. My daughter and her husband just closed on a 30 year mortgage up near Boston. First thing I did was offer to bring the matches to the burning party. Swedish matches, right from Tidaholm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
