Does anyone know of any companies that sell new-ish good sounding exhaust systems for my 67 imperial lebaron 4dr looking for something that is a little louder and gives the engine a better tone
Exhaust system

I used the TTI system. I did not use the mufflers they sell, I used a pair of Imperial 2.5" mufflers.
Waldron' exhaust is also a good source.
Plenty of previous discussions in the site, start searching. See if you find what you need

Start a thread about your car, I know I would love to see it.
As to "better sound", remember that when the 1966 Chrysler products were designed, the Imperial was the top of the line and the most luxurious Chrysler available. Equal to Cadillac and Lincoln, but above them in many ways. Mercedes and BMW were not in that same territory back then.
Luxury, back then, included "ease of operation" and "quiet operation" in the total definition. In those times, too, that could mean more-restrictive flow mufflers. Unlike Cad and Lincoln, Imperials were a bit louder, but not much. Still, quiet, though, compared to a B-body HEMI.
In later years, increased flow does NOT equate to louder exhaust sounds. Have you heard the "wimpy sounding" (to me) exhaust sounds of a later-model Corvette? So the TTI system with the mufflers @Boydsdodge mentioned can be a good alternative. Not the least expensive, but a good investment.
Enjoy!

A simple change of mufflers may give you what you want,providing you already have dual exhaust and the rest of the system is in good shape.

I buy my mufflers from Motivair. Motivair makes mufflers for most of the restoration and kit companies, they supply Waldron's
I used the PF106. You can ask for different sound levels.

Do those walker mufflers reduce in size inside ? I don't really know. I don't believe they do. More Information for WALKER 21856 Did you add a resonator since the install. No. My mufflers after a year are a bit loader, no cackle or drone, just notice loader on take off from stops. I am...

One reason I like to use Walker Exhaust is that they were OEM and are "direct fit" for the OEM pipes. Many aftermarket mufflers (and the mufflers used by most muffler shops) are "will fit, with some modifications", by comparison. Which means I can't install them with the car on secure jack stands in the shop, but the Walkers, I CAN and have done.
NAPA used to sell Walker Exhaust, with the same part numbers, in their part numbers.

Looks good. Would like to see the tailpipes further out but that is just me.

That was an error on my part. I didn't specify that that I wanted them further towards the back. But they should've known right...

Easy to extend them later.
How was the fit of the TTI exhaust ? I have installed 3 sets on my 64 Plymouths, fit was fantastic on all 3. The pics of your car's undercarriage look great. Agree with the other comments, should have longer tail pipes.
