RE: [Chrysler300] 300c exhaust size

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

My muffler guy has been in the business for many years and pointed out that
for true originality, the exhaust pipes should be the plain old muffler
grade carbon steel that rusts instantaneously as even aluminized steel as
used now was not invented until fairly recently.  I'm going to go with
standard diameter aluminized steel and hope the judges do not conduct
spectrographic analysis of the metal.  Last time they judged the bottom side
of my nasty old '55 C-300, I got enough demerits to take me out of the
judging.  Pretty pipes do look good and I don't think larger pipes will have
much effect on normal operation.  I think I've seen pictures of the
Kiekhaefer cars with 4" pipes running straight through the trunk and exiting
about where backup lights would have been (on Windsors, New Yorkers and
Imperials, only).  I'll bet those cars really cackled!

C-300'ly,

enuf!)
