RE: [Chrysler300] Exhaust

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I had the exhaust on my C-300 redone and regret not being more insistent for
originality.  The old muffler guy made an excellent installation but I let
him make the header pipes out of single lengths rather than with a clamped
joint.  He also did not integrate the supports sticking out from the
automatic transmission which are there to receive intermediate support
brackets for the header pipes and take stress off the exhaust manifolds.  I
wanted to hear that brute talk, so I had him install 3-chamber Flowmaster
mufflers which talk, but don't scream.  Aluminized steel throughout, so
should last another 20-30 years.

 

If I had it to do over again, I'd have a vendor make the mufflers with
original exterior dimensions and less choking and baffling inside.  You may
want to start shopping for proper clamps and hangers as your local muffler
shop will not have Chrysler original style devices.  Finally, remember to
get a pair of the oval exhaust tip extensions.

 

With your "B", I believe there was a racing option which included larger OD
pipes.  3"?  That could get tight over the axle and elsewhere, but you may
want to research it.  I believe Waldron's will counsel you and provide what
you need.  From our website:

The question of exhaust is timely for me. Any recommendations for a good
exhaust system for a 300B? It's difficult to get back to "original" style
so are there any recommendations for a great flowing, yet relatively quiet
and nice deep sounding muffler for these cars?

300ly,
Mark
