Re: [Chrysler300] '58 FI exhaust piping question

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Rich and All:
There was an optional exhaust system (2.5" to rear) available on all 300D  
hardtops only.  I have never seen it specifically stated that this system  
was standard with EFI, but have always kind of assumed it was.  I obtained  
several 300D EFI exhaust pipes many many years ago from Chrysler Engineer 
Mike  Kollins.  (He was the man in charge of converting the EFI cars back to  
carbs.)  These pipes are 2.5" diameter with the four bolt flange.   They also 
have provision for a crossover pipe, which makes them different from  the 
390HP 300C units.  I note that the crossover pipe is also listed in the  
parts book for "EFI 300Ds".  However, no other unique "EFI" exhaust parts  are 
listed.  I am only guessing---but I think by the time this revision of  the 
parts book was published, Service had decided to make available ONLY those  
exhaust parts that were absolutely necessary, and the very unique exhaust 
pipes  with its crossover were the only three.  If the rest of the system 
needed  replacement, well, a suitable reducer would be used to adapt to the stock 
 300C/300D system. 
So, there is my input, for what it is worth!

Subject: CURIOSITY QUESTION ON FI 1958  CARS

HELLO MEMBERS, and a happy Memorial Day Weekend

Concerning  the parts book and the 58 FUEL  INJECTED
cars........................

WHY would the FI cars have a  separate P/N for the primary exhaust pipe from
the exhaust  manifolds?????????????????????????

The LENGTH is the same for the  CARBURETED cars The diameter must be the 
same
because the secondary exhaust  pipes are all the same.

ANY IDEAS
