60 exaust replacement



The original style resonators are still available. I had a complete system done for my 60 by a shop called Taylormaid. The contact person is Jim Forton, his info can be found in the WPC newsletter. Jim Is from Brockton Mass.& he has a large Mopar collection. An older gentleman by the name of Warren actually runs the shop out of a barn at his house. When I lived in RI, I went out there several times he has all the old time pattern & machinery as well as tons of exhaust parts.
    He made a couple of the pcs wrong the first time around, but was no problem getting them exchanged for correct fit. I was lucky to have found a VERY rusty 60 LeBaron parts car. From someone living in sight of Narragansett Bay in RI. That would explain the severe amount of rust the car had. There was enough of the original exhaust system still present to use for measurements, which Warren did & everything turned out fine. in the end.

Subject: IML: 60 exaust replacement

Greetings everyone. 
 I  just returned from a supposed reputable exhaust shop here in town . The mechanic informed me that to replace one side of the  exhaust system on my 60 Crown (from the engine back)  would run $220 dollars.
 That is using a resonator that is different than what  came on the car. He said an original resonator is no longer available. Does this ring true to you that know about exhaust systems?  Does the price seem fair?.   
 Thanks
Clay Smith (kind of having sticker shock )
