Has anyone seen the new ECS resonator hanger for e- body cars? Comparing it to an original. Thinking of replacing the ones on my car.

Thanks

I saw them at the MCACN show and they are awesome.My first thought was I'm glad I sold my NOS set a couple of years ago for 2500.00 smile They will wipe out whatever is left of the NOS market for them.They are that good

I have not seen one in person, but they sure look good in the pictures that I have seen. I have asked ECS a few times over the last couple of years about reproducing them. They gave me hope that they would...eventually. I am glad that they are now available. Below is a picture of an NOS hanger and also a repro that was once available for a short time. It looked similar to the original..."but no cigar".

I’m friends with the person who provided his original to ECS for them to bring to market, he is a member here. I too will more than likely be picking up a set.

I don't see it on their website and I'm on their mailing list. Does someone have a link?

Nice reproduction but not 100% undistinguishable from NOS in the box here.
Different rivet head and absence of the all important dot on sides of the nut devil

I sent them my original one to copy. They are very nice and I have received the proto type to fit on my Challenger. Fit great, ECS is a great company.

Terry, I sent them the one that was on my challenger, factory assemble line one. That one has 2 small holes on the top. I think the NOS replacement ones have 1 hole at the top. Thanks for the Info.

These 3 were nice assembly line ones removed from two 1970 Cuda 340 cars in Dobbins yard in NY in about 1973.
They have the single hole like my NOS one.
On the one verses two holes it was probably a case of different suppliers.
If you notice, Davids NOS hanger has no hole.
On Daves Challenger he used two NOS resonator hangers that I took for him to Carlisle as he was in the process of doing the car.

All of the original ones that I have are the two hole version. Like Terry said probably different suppliers or production changes. The ones Frank B sold were nice, you just had to strip the black paint off. I have also seen the new ECS ones and they are nice.

Terry-Were the ones Dave got from you the correct size opening for his car or the smaller version that was "opened" up? Just wondering if that had something to do with the holes as far as may be someway to tell what size/diameter opening?

You've got a good memory...yes, I think you were there when Dave was looking at them.
I had told him that I only had a pair of the smaller NOS 318 ones, technically 318 used no resonator,( just head pipe to over axle pipe )
He said to bring them and after examining them at the show, said he could open them.
Whether he actually used those or found the correct larger 2 1/4 before the car was totally finished I don't know.
Irreguardless, the NOS I showed is 2 1/4 as were the 3 that I showed removed from original 340 cars, as would VCODE Bobs be, so one hole or two holes, shouldn't have dictated size of pipe used.
Again Davids hanger has no holes and appears to be correct 2 1/4.
Part number on his tag would say 3404932, same as on my box 3404932, same part number number for both sides, application 340,383-4, 440, 440-6, 426.
Supply and demand I think.

Does anyone have an extra pair of the NOS originals for sale? How much are the ECS reproductions?
