    C1 tail pipes

    How far do the tail pipes protrude from the bumpers on 58-60 cars. Installed right out of the box, mine are now about 1/2". To cut, or not to cut...

    Glenn, I am not certain, I doubt if the originals stuck beyond the chrome bumper. However, 1/2" beyond has it's benefits, you may want to leave them that way. First, the exhaust will not discolor the chrome with black exhaust as quickly and second, the condensaton from the heat riser side pipe is less likely to spray acid condensation on the bumper. Regards,

      Don't cut! 1/2 inch is typical of factory production.
