    68 Exhaust extension tips

    Does anyone know if there is a specific measurement regarding how far the chrome exhaust extensions/tips should protrude from the rear panel? Right now I have installed mine to extend from the BODY 2.5 inches.
    Thank you,
    Kurt

    Kurt I measured my 68 and came up with the following measurements. I have replaced both of my original tips many years ago and don't even know if they would pass NCRS technical inspectors. However both of my 68's tips are about 3 1/4 inches from the chrome exhaust bezel. I measured from the top tip of the exhaust tip to the bottom of the top center of the exhaust bezel right below the lip of the chrome exhaust bezel.

      Jim,
      Thanks for the response. I measured mine at exactly the same location you did. The AIM or anything else I have seen does not provide a reference measurement that we can adhere to. It is comical to me that after 10 long years I am finally down to such nitpicking tasks as measuring exhaust tips since over the last few years when I was looking at a 68 skeleton with piles of parts everywhere, I had my doubts if I would ever finish this car. It's nice to only have minor details left to deal with.
      Thanks again for your help,
      Kurt
