Is this the place that still uses the old IBM punch cards used by the muffler shops back in the day?Yup. Mr. Waldren bent the S.S. pipes for the Batwagon while I watched. Jon waz an apprentice at that time and Mrs. Waldren would come in to take care of office stuff. Looked more like ah blacksmith shop then an exhaust bending shop 'cept for template sets of pipes hangin' every where. No car lift, nothing modern in that shop. Just Dam fine craftsmanship. The shop is located ah couple miles north of Sturgis, Michigan out in the boonies.
Any pics? Interested in seeing the tail pipe turn downs.I got a complete 70' Sport Fury exhaust delivered today. The quality of the pipe is outstanding. Great bends! Very impressed. Aluminized pipe, mufflers, clamps NOS original aftermarket hangars and gaskets for 555 to my door. Very happy.
Nobody seems to get the turn-down tailpipe exits right. OEM exit would be sliced diagonally so the opening is almost parallel to ground. As a kid i always thought they looked cooler than hell.
Yes. You and rapidtrans are so right about this-- 'scallop' might be the best way to describe the cut. It's both the angle and the cut that make them unmistakably authentic and appealing. The two slight bends at the end of the pipe need to be correct too. These vintage oem exhaust companies charging $1000. for pipes and mufflers need to get this stock detail right.Mine, from Accurate Exhaust, are close. The thing they don't get right are the "scallop" of the cut. The original ends had this strange cut to them.
