I see you got a mixed bag on Waldron. Here's my take:
They built an entirely new system for my F, end to end in 2019. All I had to do is convince them that it doesn't use resonators. The system shipped and went in fine. I had to call for a hanger which they supplied without fuss.
The built a system for my 56 Cadillac, duals, resonators and rear bumper outlets. That system went in like butter.
A system for my 60 Buick from Waldron was a little more complicated and I ended up in Nick's shoes having to make remedial bends.
Let's remember that the cars are 60+ years of age with lots of events that may have altered dimensional values. It is probably not reasonable to expect a newly minted set of bent pipes to fit every car the same way.
Try hanging a bumper on your car that came from another one, they don't always fit like butter for the same reasons.
In my view Waldron is the place to go.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Exhaust 300K
Has anyone purchased one of the mail order exhaust systems out there? If so, I would like to your experiences with that.
There are only a couple of custom exhaust places left around the Bay Area and I have not had the best of luck with them, even at a high price. They tend to be in a hurry and their Q&A is lacking. They do not take the time to make sure that there is good clearance from items and down the road if a mount compresses a little next thing you know you have something rubbing. They also all want to weld everything and if you have to pull and engine or trans that is a PITA.
I will need a new all Stainless Steel exhaust at some point for the 300K. The header pipes are not looking too good and it is almost rubbing on the torsion bar.
Thanks for anyone’s experiences with the mail order houses on this.
Best to everyone for Christmas.
James
