The Mufflers on my Century are rusty, so i am looking for new ones. Found Waldron and Classic Exhaust for Original. But it is very expansive to get it to Germany. Will pay over 200 $ Shipping and Tax. In Germany i can get some Magnaflow / Dynomax Mufflers. Because off German Law it has to be a quiet Muffler! The best fitment I‘ve found is the 11224 Magnaflow Straight Through Performance 13214 Magnaflow XL Multi Chamber Performance (quiter than 11224?!) 17427 Dynomax Trush Turbo 17730 Dynomax Super Turbo Someone here with experience on aftermarket mufflers on a 58 Century?
Hi.. There should be vendors, dealing with US parts in Germany.. Try getting prices from them.. Otherwise you could go to the local car parts store, and find the universal muffler that fits the best, and mount that.. This is a found after a short seach, and is priced at ~80€ https://www.biltema.dk/bil---mc/bil...m-standard/bageste-lyddamper-skoda-2000026536
So, now i did another way. Throwed out the two back Muffler and put in 2" tube. Sounds great and not much louder than before and costs only 80§
At higher revs it becomes quieter and even in driving mode there is hardly any change compared to before. However, it is clearly noticeable that the car accelerates better. It "breathes more freely".
Dont know what Kind of Muffler this was, they were Hand Made in Jakarta, when the Car was running there. I Will cut them open next time and look inside
If by some slim chance you are interested keeping the car original and that means accepting and appreciating the original design and function of the car as something special and unique, I would reinstall the end resonators by simply welding the rust hole shut. If your lucky and fortunate enough to have an original survivor this would be a noble endeavor. However if the car is not original and someone has already Hackymotto'ed the car up and you are not aiming that high in your expectations then leave it as is. btw: The resonators are installed to make the car sound like a Buick not a truck, not a sprint car nor a chevy/ford. The boulevard cruiser without the bruiser sound. Here is the original and correct factory exhaust system :
