exhaust

Hello,
I need to replace my complete exhaust system, for my 1959 olds dynamic 88 (rocket engine).
It's a single system.
Can anyone give me the technical data (partnumbers etc..) so i can buy the correct items?
Thank you very much.

that's the car.

The only way you'd be able to get OE replacement mufflers or resonators is by buying NOS parts.

I suggest taking your Olds to a local exhaust shop and have them put exhaust on it. They can directly replace the old exhaust if it's still there; if not, a skilled craftsman would be able to fabricate new exhaust easily. Plus, house brand muffler/resonators can save you money if you don't want performance parts.

Waldron's can make you an exact reproduction exhaust system in either single or duals. I had a dual system made for the 54 convertible I had, and it fit perfectly. Here is a link.

I manage a muffler shop, bending the pipes is easy, the problem is sourcing those really long factory mufflers locally. Those 50's cars sound like absolute garbage with the smaller mufflers available today. There supposed to be whisper quiet!
