Hello and thank you to all who took the time
to offer advice and/or personal experiences regarding their exhaust
systems. Except for a very few changes, this car will be as close to
original as possible. I wanted to go back stock and was headed in that
direction until I started hearing mechanics and even the machine shop owner
who rebuilt the 413 suggest larger pipes and a different
muffler/resonator setup. Being only slightly mechanically inclined, these
suggestions sounded good on the surface. I dared not proceed without
checking with you all who have "driven down that road ahead of me". As
usual, the List shared info and hopefully I won't make any mistakes in this
area!
My "gut feeling" all along was to go back stock and
that is what I will be doing. Still don't know about the correct
mufflers/resonators to ask for. I've spoken with "Dave" at Kings and
Queens but can't get anyone to answer or return my subsequent calls. Is
this the place I should be doing business with? And if so should I let
them supply the entire system or just the mufflers and resonators? I DO
WANT the car to sound quiet like it did when it was new and far be it from me to
change what the Chrysler engineers figured out a long time ago. Again
thanks to all who offered their advice and let me take this time to wish
everyone a very happy, healthyl and prosperous 2003!
Sincerely,
Greg McDonnell
