Original 54 mufflers

[Troy P.]

I'm researching 53-55 mufflers for the JM update. I'm confident the early 54 mufflers were like those installed in 53. I'm trying to figure out if the mufflers changed sometime during the model year in 54 or if they stayed the same. Anyone have photos of original mid to late 54 mufflers?

I have seen NORS dealer over-the-counter mufflers but can't say that these were ever installed on the assembly line. So I'm looking for low mileage cars with one or two mufflers that have not been replaced.

Thanks for your assistance with this quest.

I believe (or should I say hope) this muffler is still original (although heavily rusted) since the car has been in barns for the last 30+ years:

Thanks, Rob. Those are the mufflers I'm used to seeing on the 53's and early 54's. Trying to find out if they changed as the year went on. What is your VIN?
