Anyone know of a source for pair of NOS Mufflers for my 68 Coupe.  Need them for NCRS judging.

.............. Major reason why I "sometimes"  get a bad taste in my mouth
about the NCRS....

A Nice 35 year old car (and from the picture nice is very much an understatement) the NCRS boys want you to put Original Mufflers on it 

Sorry I do understand the Game... I just do not play...

I'm so frustrated with the NCRS standards.  Just when I think I've got it licked, then I find out something else is wrong.  For example, chrome exhaust tips.  All repro are stainless but originals are steel.  So I check my car.  Yes, mine are chromed steel and look great.  So I've got it made right!!!  Wrong, I see they have measurements in the manual.  I measure mine.  Mine are different.  Well, back to the drawing board.  My most recent quest was locating the proper horn relay.  $160.00 later, yes I have the dang thing.  Who needs a stupid horn anyway?  So how do you find a muffler that they haven't made in years and mufflers wear out.  At some point in time no one will have an original that hasn't rusted away.   Just venting!!!

If your tips are longer, is it possible to use a tube cutter and shorten them a bit?

Unfortunately I've been shorted there also in life.  They are 1/2 inch too short!  I'm thinking that with a little work, I could weld 1/2 inch of tubing on to the small end and then get it polished and rechromed.  That will be my last ditch effort.  Otherwise I get a pair of stainless for $39.00 and take a slight deduction in points.
