Looking for a good to new SD455 Muffler
 

I'm taking TA to Gettysburg. I blew the muffler out. It's got a big hole in main body. Pipes seemed to be ok. I talked to Gardner.i would need to buy whole system,my last resort money wise. An owner who bought their system can buy just a muffler.A friend has one ,used muffler ,but wants a SD distributor in trade I only have one spare. So any help out there? Thanks

That seems a kind of odd way to do business.

Bob, try Waldron Exhaust. The might be able to make one for you.

Thanks ,I'll try them. Working g my friend in Illinois too.

Bob, if you run into a dead end with the Gardner system, I think you'd be pretty pleased with the Waldron unit. It's based on the original Firebird muffler blueprint and uses packaging material to soften the tinniness and accentuate the rumble. When we explained it to Tom Hand, to told him we wanted the factory sound on steroids. He worked with Waldron to create it. And they nailed it!

I have several videos of the car on YouTube that you might like to see/hear.

Thanks.I was hoping I could buy muffler and use existing pipes.Cutting them loose from existing muffler. I didnt call yet,this week very busy,finalizing my retirement papers,sign this that , turn in all electronics. Saying good bys. Kind of melancholy.

Waldron does have the muffler available. However it isn't on the shelve. 8 to 10 weeks,maybe longer depending on availability of stainless.

Latest, they found an aluminized one on the shelf. Just had it delivered. Now the delicate removal of oem. They are very nice to deal with.

I'm glad they found an aluminized muffler for you. They are great people to deal with. Let us know if you like it.

Will do.Im glad I posted,thanks again. Now to put on my smock,gloves,hat,and sterilized gloves.Taking many pics first as this is still oem.

Bob, one thing to note that I just thought of is that the original over-axle pipes on your SD neck down from 2.5 to 2.25 just before it enters the muffler. What size are the inlet/outlet nipples on the muffler you purchased? I know Waldron offers it several ways.

Are the ones Classic industries offer made by Waldron?They have two models available.

Muffler from Waldron fit very nice. I needed to make adapters to fit exhaust pipes(2.25) into muffler(2.5 "),like Rocky alluded too. I was very fortunate to use original exhaust pipes and tail pipes. No leaks. Now possibly replace whole system. I missed replies before,just got busy and forgot to look.
