I need mufflers and resonators size

Anyone can measuring size


Warren Rauch #4286

  Most mufflers have been replaced by now, so you will only get the aftermarket sizes anyway. The following are the specs from Walkers factory replacement line.


1959-1960 all  Muffler
 number    type                     Overall   Shell  Inlet    Outlet
21158     TriFlow oval 3 1/4x 7 3/4   25 1/8    20 1/4  2       1 3/4 side in /center out

1959-1960 all except 75 ,CC Resonator
21159     Direct Flow    5 1/8      27 1/8    22 1/2  1  3/4   1 3/4 

1959-1960  75,CC resonator
21104     Tri Flow  oval 4 x 7 3/4  20 3/4     16 1/2   1 3/4    1 3/4 side in/center out

By direct flow,I think they mean round ,with the pipes in the center of each end.

Seconding using Waldron's. Their parts are very well made and highly recommended. I used them to replace the entire system on my '59. That can be seen here:

Plenty of pictures there so you can see what they look like. They sound great too. The inlets are 2" and the outlets are 1 1/2". The pipe from the manifold to the muffler is 2" and the rest from the muffler back is 1 1/2".

I put Waldron stainless steel on my 60. Sounds great,(original) fit correctly and competative price.

As the PO is in Russia, ordering an exhaust by Waldron may be problematic...

No problem, but  parcel takes a long time.  Only problems with payment
