[Chrysler300] C-300 Exhaust Extensions

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking for correct exhaust extensions/deflectors for my 1955 
C-300.  I have several photos showing  the original factory equipment 
deflectors as being a thin oval with four fake holes in the end--the 
exhaust being deflected downward.  A member indicated that reproduction 
'57-'64 Studebaker Hawk deflectors are the same as the original Chrysler 
deflectors.  If anyone has the original or NOS Chrysler deflectors, 
would you compare them to the pictures of part No. AC2840 at 
www.studebaker.com and let me know if they appear to be the same?  Plug 
the AC2840 into the site's search window for a pretty decent picture of 
the deflector.

At $76/pop they will cost more than the new mufflers (non-stock) I had 
installed, so if a better price is around for a valid reproduction, I 
would appreciate knowing about that, also.  The exhaust piping diameters 
vary on my car, ending up with 2" at the rear.  Does that sound right?

Getting prepared for and looking forward to the 1.18 mile vertical trip 
to South Lake Tahoe.  Our Chrysler 300 will become a Chrysler 239 at 
lake level.  I will probably be derated even more.  Has rained some up 
there lately, so need to do a no-rain dance.

C-300'ly,

on our '63 Chrysler so I should survive 3+ hours each way)
