Where are you guys getting it? having it made at a muffler shop?
I've looked in Jim Carter, Classic Truck Parts, LMC, and NAPA

I took the rotted tailpipe and muffler off my '51 and took it to a local machine shop and they ordered a muffler and bent a new pipe for under $100.

Just FYI though, Chevs of the 40s will sell you a complete exhaust system. They're a good outfit to do business with IMHO. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
waldo53,
Thanks for that link. There seem to be no "good" muffler shops near me (I've tried and my friends have tried). All I need are tail pipes and it looks like Chevs of the 40s sells them (they are a good outfit).
