You would have a hard time finding them but CSX-2286 has to this day the 1960 Chrysler Imperial resonators I used as new mufflers. They were the same size, except 3 inches longer than the cans that were on it, before I restored the car. Orginally, they were after the Chrysler mufflers as additional silencing. These cars changed with each owner and restoration, example, CSX-2299 rear spoiler is not orginal. The car was sold to Mike Shoen without a spoiler and he had a friend make what they thought it should be. It is close to what the orginal looked like, but it is different than CSX-2287 and CSX-2300. My suggestion to you is to have 4 made of stainless steel and polished to a SS finish, not chrome like and do the complete header system in SS. Then, if you want them white you can use a high temp paint, the orginals were not painted white, they were coated with a aero-space aluminum oxiide coating that was white.
