Exhaust/Muffler Options?

[Deleted User]

Just thought I'd ask what everyone is using for the exhaust/muffler for their Jets.

My pipes and muffler look to be full of holes.

Any cost estimates?

Thanks!

I think the "favored" supplier for exhausts nowadays is Waldron.  Go here:  http://waldronexhaust.com/cart/index.php?cPath=61_42 .

Jets are not mentioned but when they list a year range, that may include Jet.  I'd e-mail them to be sure.  But anyway, this will give you some idea of the cost.

I don't want to stick my neck out here, but I think aluminized steel is the way to go.  I bought a system from a fellow in the Hudson club, in aluminized steel, over 30 years ago, and it is still going strong.  The only modification I did, was to drill a tiny "weep hole" in the bottom of the muffler, at the lowest point, so the water can drain.  Thirty years is a nice long life for an exhaust system!

 Complete exhaust systems are advertised every week almost on ebay, for all model Hudsons.

I second Jon's advice. Waldron has made  a couple for me with great results. I'm sure they can do a Jet system. I think Burton Waldron,The founder, was a Hudson Club member back in the day.

Just be sure you know about the company from which you are ordering.  For example, there is a supplier whose name begins with "K" which is not recommended by many people.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look up Waldron information!
