Re: [Chrysler300] 300 C and D exhaust systems

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

All:
I happened to be over at my car storage yesterday and so had a chance to  
check the length of a Sono 6X which has resided in my 300C trunk for many  
years.  The body measured 34 1/8" long.  Guess it could me safely  rounded off 
to 34 inches.  Interestingly, the specifications I have from  Chrysler 
Engineering call out 35 inches as the length for the 300C muffler  (Arvin 
#2192BW).  Where did the inch go?  Got lost between engineering  and service, I 
guess!
For Ron's question, yes, all aspects of the 300C and 300D standard  
equipment exhaust systems are identical.  I am pretty sure that statement  applies 
to the "C" and "D" convertibles as well.
Hope this is of some help.
Thanks, Marv, for the info on the source for these components.
300ly, Gil Cunningham

The  correct Mufflers for the 300 C & D coupes are MOPAR Sono 6-X, not  the
Sono 4-X.
The body of the 6-X is 34 inches and total length is 39  inches. The Sono 
4-X
body is 29 inches and total length is 33 1/2 inches. I  have both Mopar Sono
mufflers in my basement which I checked the  measurements.

We have the Sono 6-X on our original 1957 300C which will  need replacing
soon. We purchased our 300C in July 1958.

Hi Marv -

Can we assume that the C and D hardtop's  exhaust pipes are the same ? Based
on the title of your email, I would  assume so. But just want to verify.

Thanks,

Ron
