Re: [Chrysler300] Re: Exhaust System Noise -- Causes Determined

["Pat Grant" <gran102@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i bought a set of mrs. brass's pipes and the remainder of the system from Mr. waldron in michigan. had the same identical problems. mrs brass;s pipes arent long enough and they are different lengths. i am going to have to have new tailpipes made locally because the set i have dont clear the rear axle and dont reach the back bumper.

  The causes of the exhaust systems noises I posted about yesterday 
  have been determined:
    
  The metal-to-metal rattling appears to be the left exhaust pipe 
  hitting the torsion bar. Eileen's pipe is as it is, but there is 
  only about 1/16 - 3/32"" clearance between the pipe and the bar. 
  We're going to flatten the pipe a bit right in that area to increase 
  the clearance.

  The "rubbing" sound was the shock on the right side rubbing on the 
  exhaust pipe - the nearly vertical front part of the loop over the 
  axle. Both sides of the axles had also contacted the top of the 
  loop -- he didn't realize he needed for the pipes to be bent so the 
  loop was almost to the body sheet metal. He's going to make new tail 
  pipes this coming week.

  None of the pipes or mufflers appear anywhere near close enough to 
  the frame rails or body sheet metal to make contact, and there is no 
  indication any contact has occurred. Each exhaust assembly is rock 
  solid.

  Incidentally, the motor mounts look to be in excellent, perfect 
  condition. Engine doesn't move noticeably when revved in gear with 
  the brakes on. Don't know if they were replaced when the car was 
  restored 26 years ago or not.

  Mike
