1938 woody muffler
Looking to see if anyone knows where I could get a muffler for my 38 woody without breaking the bank? I think the 400 dollars that ecklers wants is a little steep.

Re: 1938 woody muffler
If you want concourse correct, well, that comes with a cost. I'd recently sold a used (correct) muffler for $300. So, methinks $400 isn't too bad for new as long as it's correct. I'm quite leery of Ecklers (Macs).

Re: 1938 woody muffler
I would get a photo from Ecklers of the muffler and ask if it's in stock or not. If it's not in stock you may wait a long time!

Re: 1938 woody muffler
Does the woody have a special muffler? I just bought a 38 convertible and it came with what looks to be a stock exhaust system that I'm not planning on using. I can send pics if you are interested

Re: 1938 woody muffler
Here is a photograph of a stock muffler for a '39 / '40. Same basic appearance of a '38 but possibly differing inlet / outlet orientation.

No part number but yes, the Ford script on one end.

Re: 1938 woody muffler
Once in a while the originals do turn up in the remnants of their original service part boxes. Mike, please correct me if wrong, but doesn't the original muffler have a 48 part number prefix ('35 model year) with the inlet at 6 o'clock when viewed from the rear and a 10 o'clock outlet?
P.S. For those of you who missed Hershey this year, count your blessings. The near-non-stop rain and cold temperatures so far have been a bummer. |

I'll go back and edit that post to avoid confusion as to the orientation of the inlet / outlet. It (the photo) should still be of some aid to those searching for a proper muffler.

I have this "Ford Script" muffler BUT I find NO part # stamped on it? I thought that the "other" determinate of the difference in "Ford" muffler's was the Over All Length?? |

Later, service parts were often shorter than the factory installed part and utilized adapters.

Re: 1938 woody muffler
Just a note, when talking about orientation, ie 6 oclock, 10 oclock, you need to say viewed from which end, and with "X_ray" eyes or from looking at each end. Could be confusing.
Reminds me of a High School physics test that asked "why does a mirror reverse writing on your shirt, left to right, but not up and down?"! Obviously, left and right depend on which way you are looking but up and down doesn't. |

Re: 1938 woody muffler
Call Waldron's Exhaust in Michigan. I bought a stock stainless steel complete system from them for my 41 pickup. The fit was fantastic, they make good stuff.
