I gave the specs of my Waldron mufflers to Dave privately yesterday, but 
I'll put it out here so we can compare.

Here's my note to Dave yesterday:
"OK, here we go, Dave.  I don't know what you call the end crimping 
material, but the measurements here include that.  The length is 34.25" 
and the end oval is 4.25" X 8.00".  The inlet pipe is 2.25" in the 
center of the oval, and the 2" outlet is off center outboard.  I forgot 
to measure how far offset from center the outlet is, but I can easily go 
back and get that dimension for you if you need it."

I see Waldron's length is nearly the same, and the width fairly close, 
but the height is a whole 1" fatter on the Waldron.  Are we sure about 
the 3.25" height for a Sono 6X?

Hi Dave in UK

I took the measurements today from one of my original type mufflers for our
1957 300C Hardtop. The muffler was purchased from Chrysler in the 1960's.

The original 300C mufflers were "MoPar Sono 6X" shown in raised relief.
Other Chryslers models in 1957 used "Mopar Sono 4X" which have a body
length of 29 inches.

The "Sono 6X" has a Body length 34 inches, width 8 3/8 inches, height 3 1/4
inches. Inlet pipe 2 1/4 inches and outlet pipe 2 inches.
Length of inlet pipe 2 inches, length outlet pipe 2 3/4 inches.

I would be interested in hearing from Keith Boonstra and Bob Merritt how the
Waldron's mufflers compare to the originals.
Does Waldron's make a 34 inch muffler? Or only the 29 inch (Sono 4X)

In a posting to this Club, 7/23/10, Marv Raguse who has both a 300 C & D,
says he worked with Joe Tonietto of Waldron's and stated that he has the
"Mopar Sono 4X" which was originally thought to be for 300C's. Wayne
Graefen's 1957 Chrysler 300C Handbook originally listed the "MoPar Sono 4X",
but he changed it to the correct "MoPar Sono 6X" as shown in his 6th
Edition.

Hi Dave,

Waldron's Exhaust here in Michigan has put considerable effort into
making a very correct muffler in stainless steel for the C and D (and
perhaps others), and they're a very good company to work with. I have a
set of theirs on my C, and couldn't be more pleased.

Perhaps the shipping cost to the UK would be prohibitive, and thus you
need to have them manufactured there. If so, one of us here in the
States can give you the dimensions you're looking for. What's the
word? Waldron's or the specs?

Hi everyone.
Could anyone let Me know the correct dimensions for the mufflers on a
300D hardtop. I need the length, width and depth of the muffler and also
the internal diameter of the inlet pipe.
I have found a shop local to Me to make the system in stainless and they
have already done the front and tail pipes from pattern but when I got
the car the mufflers had rusted away long ago.
Thanks Dave.
300D in the UK.
