any one have source for a complete exhaust system for 53 superwasp? have looked at old posts are there any new fabricators? was looking at my parts book and my system looks like what was on the jet? pipe from manifold to resonator, pipe to muffler and then the tail pipe. to use stainless or aluminized steel?

    Try Waldron's Exhaust, I believe they're well thought-of. http://waldronexhaust.com/shop/index.php?cPath=61_42



    Avoid using a particular exhaust fabricator whose name begins with "K". (And I'm not talking about Dave Kostansek or Kanters', by the way!)

    I seriously contemplated using Waldron's for my '46 but a shop here in Bozeman--Silent Knight--was highly recommended by a local Hudson man.



    They did a first-rate job, used aluminized metal and had the work done the next day--$150--guts, bones and feathers! Waldron was $270 for the system plus the freight.



    If I have any problems, I know where to find him.



    If there is a good pipe bender in your locale, I would consider using him and skip the pre-made systems.
  • The single Hudsonite with a need for a custom exhaust will do themselves and the local economy a whole lot of good if they buy from the local provider. My 53 Wasp has a "local muffler shop" exhaust that has preformed flawlessly for 26 years. The cost for the manifold to rear bumper installation was $100.00. A pricely sum then and even now. But the point is that $100.00 circulated in my town and I got what the Hudson needed. Just my 2 cents/
