Location: McComb, Mississippi | For my polara, I'm looking for a quiet stock replacement. Everywhere I call only has a direct fit for the dual exhaust ram cars. Any sources? I'd be interested in one of those sono 4x jobs that I've heard about from time to time as well. |

The base Polara Engine is a 361 and the largest Engine Displacement Option is a 383. They both used the same part number of Exhaust Manifolds be they was with a 2 bbl
or a four bbl.
A Quality Muffler that can be always be used is NAPA's 21-400 . The Dual Exhaust Piping inlet size is the same as your Exhaust Manifolds Diameter. The unit is made per
OEM Data and spec's --- by Walker.
To install this unit to your car is a No Brainer to any local Neighbor Hood Muffler Shop.

If you looked at the http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Muffler-Qu... you now know to a Dyno your Single Tail Pipe
Exhaust System is equal to a higher priced Dual Exhaust.
Any place that is local to you have a single same size in & out diam Resonator to add to the unit. Even with A Single Tail Pipe --- you'll have a Dual Exh performing Assembly.

If a vehicle is using one of The "A Series Engine's" The Napa #22-599 Muffler is The Correct Size.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I have glass pack mufflers on my current '61 but later on down the road I plan to put turbo Mufflers on it. My dad took my other '61 to some exhaust shop in Alabama and had that done. I do not know the name of it . |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Why not try Waldrons exhaust? I bought a complete exhaust system from Waldrons for my 1956 Chrysler New Yorker. The appearance is stock alike. I've chosen Impostor mufflers. This exhaust system is sounding great. It's always a pleasure to listen the sound at around 62 to 65 mph or during acceleration. Not too lound inside - just correct for such a powerful cruiser like my New Yorker. http://waldronexhaust.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=61_36_126&sort=20a&page=2&zenid=eb83e39ac2bc61f8d9e86026160b618b If I were you I would ask if they sell the mufflers separate. Happy Motoring! Dieter |

Location: Milano, Italy | Hi all,
I was just passing by, Then I stopped for curiosity. I checked the NAPA link to the part 22-599 (thank you Rodger) and I wonder what is the difference between "resonator" and "quiet muffler". Napa put them under the same catalog number..... |

... Antonio and Christian
The difference between "resonator/ glass pack" and "quiet muffler" many times is a Marketing Name.
Go to a local to your Muffler Selling Store and look for a Small Diameter Muffler ( not oval or square ) that has the same Inlet and Outlet sized Exhaust Pipe Size as you car.
Cut and insert next to the area near the out-side frame near your Gas Tank.
******
In the era of these cars --- only a vehicle making an "Repair Appointment" at a Muffler Shop could be heard. The Hear Me Exhaust Sound was after Road Runner's and GTX's
were sold.

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA | Dynos aside, back pressure aside, etc, I use 2 of the SONO-X type with no crossover and 2 glass packs, with the mufflers about under the back of the front seat, and the glass pack resonators ourboard of the gas tank, right before the bumper-- the exhaust tips clamp directly to the glass packs. Power and ease of installation are considerations, but nothing sounds better than a MoPar V8 with true dual exhausts. It kinda softly grumbles at idle, and it doesn't ruin your hearing. |

Location: York County, PA | You are right Rodger, most cars in the late 50's early 60's didn't make a lot of noise. I PA in the 60's, if you had glass-pac's on your car you got pulled over by the police.
At a local car show a fella pulled in with a cheby that was so loud the driver and his passenger wore ear plugs. Today, because these cars are considered "Antique" that
they get away with it.
Catch ya'll later. |
