Re: [Chrysler300] exhaust systems and my 2 cents

[Gary Nelson <garythepartsdoc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

With all the bad flack I have heard about dissatisfied buyers of exhaust 
systems there is no way I would order across country for a system only to 
fight and ship back and fight it more.

Any custom made system, (that is what you are buying) regardless the shop 
has to be custom fitted as it is fabricated. These after market vendors 
say, "WE HAVE THE PATTERNS". Yea right.
Any custom made system is tested for fit until it ends at the rear at the 
right spot with appropriate clearances.

When I get to fabricating my system I will go out and find a local shop 
that will let me be there w/ my manual turned to "EXHAUST SYSTEM" and get 
started. I will have my hangers in place and they will have to fit, fit, 
and fit until they make it fit.
When I leave the system will fit.

Chryslers vendors would have had a fixture to follow, likely after many 
trials and errors to get it right for production runs.

Good luck bending.

Gary
