Waldron’s “Arvinode” Dual Exhaust System Now Available
Nottawa, MI. After extensive research, Waldron’s Antique Exhaust’s latest product, a
faithful reproduction of the extremely rare, Mustang “Arvinode” dual exhaust system, is
finally available for enthusiasts.
The Arvinode system was originally used on Mustangs built from October, 1964 through
March, 1965. Installed on High-Performance 289 "K"-code engines equipped with dual
exhausts, the system did not utilize conventional mufflers. Instead, the exhaust note was
‘tuned’ by combining the effects of resonance tubes in the tubular front mufflers with
conventional resonators integrated into the tailpipes. The sound was unique; low,
aggressive and loud. This system was originally produced by Arvin and has been all but
impossible to find for Mustang restorers.
In 1965, Ford issued a technical service bulletin for replacing the front Arvinode tubes
with conventional mufflers if customers complained of excessive noise. After only six
months of production use, Ford replaced the Arvinode system with the later, more
commonly found GT-style dual exhaust. The limited supply of correct replacement parts
for the Arvinode systems were expended and have not been available since the late '60's.
Waldron’s Arvinode reproduction brings back the original sound, appearance and
performance of this rare and unusual exhaust system. Working closely with Mustang
experts, Arvin retirees and a number of K-Code owners, Waldron’s accurately recreated
the system. Like the originals, the outer shells of the new mufflers and resonators are
manufactured from aluminized steel to maintain the proper appearance. Waldron’s
accurate re-creation of the Mustang Arvinode system will fit any first-generation
Mustang equipped with dual exhaust and an original or reproduction H pipe.
Applying current materials and technology allowed Waldron’s to make improvements for
longer life while maintaining the look, fit and sound of the original system. One such
improvement is the use of heavier gauge tubing. Not only will the new system last longer,
the thicker tubing also allowed the rectangular dampener tubes to be eliminated on the
Base model, making that system more affordable.
Installation of the system can be completed with clamps or welding. Originally, each side
of the system was installed as a one-piece welded assembly on the assembly line.
Restorers can choose to have this exhaust system installed in one piece or the joints can
be welded after installation to match the original installation appearance. If desired,
clamps can be purchased to complete the installation.
The new Waldron’s Arvinode systems are offered in two models; ‘Concours’ and ‘Base’
models. ‘Concours’ models are for judged vehicles and are designed to achieve the
highest judging scores. ‘Concours’ systems include the unique, rectangular ‘dampener’
tubes on the front mufflers and the correct, Ford style saddle clamps for connection to the
H pipe outlets. The ‘Base’ model is for those who want the fun, sound and appearance of
the original system without the extra cost. The ‘Base’ model’s front mufflers do not have
the rectangular tubes and the system includes standard saddle clamps for H pipe
attachment.
Both systems come with aluminized steel mufflers and pipes, intermediate pipes that
connect to the H pipe outlets, front mufflers, over-axle pipes, resonators with turndowns
and clamps. The Waldron’s Arvinode exhaust system also utilizes unique hangers and
mounting brackets. Concours-correct reproductions of these accessories are expected
later this year.
